linux RSS from ps RES from TOP

command, linux, memory, ps, redhat

Solution

If you are talking about the difference between the `RES` column in `top -p $(pidof process)` and the `RSS` column in the `ps aux | grep $(pidof process)` command, there is no difference, as both the tools get this value from the `/proc/$(pidof process)/stat` file.

You can always cat `/proc/$(pidof process)/status` for a human readable format.
