How to find total resource usage. You will want to (depending on the
application) monitor several items. The basic ones are CPU, RAM and SWAP.
The not so apparent ones are I/O (such as network or disk).
- Windows (NT kernel)
- Open up the task manager
- Click on the view menu
- Click on Select Columns
- Check Virtual Memory Size
- Click OK
- Check the "Process" tab, it should have more data

- ps
- top
- pmap
- systat
- vmstat
