I'm not sure what the equivalent for other operating systems is, but here's a Solaris tip for the archives... we use /usr/proc/bin/pmap to determine memory consumption: for p in `pgrep httpd`; do /usr/proc/bin/pmap -x $p | tail -1; done pmap gives you the total memory usage, amount actually resident, amount shared, and the amount not shared (private). - Kyle
