在开发和运维过程中，经常会遇到的问题是一个进程到底占用了多大的内存。以下通过常用的2个命令来说明如何获取进程占用的内存
比如有一个java进程，它的pid=7020
$ps -ef | grep LogAgent | grep ^grepusrapp 7020 1 0 15:23 ? 00:00:02 java -jar LogAgent.jar
$ps -o vsz,rss,sz,size,pid -q7020VSZ RSS SZ SIZE PID4444604 39160 1111151 4268292 7020
| name | description |
| vsz | virtual memory size of the process in KiB (1024-byte units). Device mappings are currently excluded; this is subject to change. (alias vsize). |
| rss | resident set size, the non-swapped physical memory that a task has used (in kiloBytes). (alias rssize, rsz). |
| sz | size in physical pages of the core image of the process. This includes text, data, and stack space. Device mappings are currently excluded; this is subject to change. See vsz and rss. |
| size | approximate amount of swap space that would be required if the process were to dirty all writable pages and then be swapped out. This number is very rough! |
其中最关注的是RSS，它是实际占用的物理内存的大小。
