How can I determine that a process how much memory consuming ?
I am using
svmon -Pt15 | perl -e 'while(){print if($.==2||$&&&!$s++);$.=0 if(/^-+$/)}'|awk '{x=x+$3} END {print "Total MEM:" (x*4)/1024/1024}'

This output gives to me 28 gb memory usage

If I calculate non root users cumulative memory usage via
ps aux | head -1; ps aux |sort -rn +5 |awk '$1 !~/root/ {print $1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$10,$11;x=x+$6} END {print "Total MEM:" x}'
This output gives 6.gb utilization.
Which one I could trust ? how svmon -p is greater than svmon -G ? RES field in Ps aux is gives real or close to real consumption ?
