How to find resource usages of users in Centos <\/span><\/h4>\n

In some high load situations, we need to find out the resource consumption of each user in the server to figure out the exact issue. There are a lot of options\/commands to find the same. Normally, we are using the \u201cps\u201d and \u201ctop\u201d command for performing this.<\/p>\n

Separating or sorting Unix user with their own resource usage is quit hard with a Linux beginner<\/a>. \u00a0The command PS has a lot of switches for sorting processes in different manner.<\/p>\n

We can simply sort the current executing processes with its CPU and Memory conception ratio. Also, here is a simple link\u00a0for monitoring your server load \u201cLoad monitoring in Linux servers\u201c<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cps command\u201d and \u201ctop command\u201d have a lot of options, here I am explaining some useful command combinations to find the resource(cpu, memory\u2026) usages of users in the server.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s simply a static output of current resource usage in the server. You can use the grep command to separate users.<\/p>\n
