ps -o pid,osz,rss,pcpu,args -p <pid>

will print the virtual/resident memory and CPU percentage.

See "man ps" for the signification of osz/rss/pcpu.

Be careful as "rss" includes memory pages shared with other process (shared
exec/library,  IPC shared memory segments, cow pages, mapped files, ...).

The "/usr/proc/bin/pmap -x <pid>" command will show various useful
informations like private memory .


I suggest to download and install "Memtool" if you want to gather
additionnal informations related to memory usage (see sun.com).

Note : pmap reports private memory wrongly on Solaris 2.6, see Memtool's
"pmem" as a replacement.
