NAME

anvil-check-memory - This reports the total memory used by all processes with to passed-in program name.

SYNOPSIS

anvil-check-memory <command> [options]

DESCRIPTION

This reports the total memory used by all processes with to passed-in program name. It can be an Anvil! or Striker program, or any other program running on the system.

This looks in 'ps' and finds pids for the given program name, then parses the '/proc/<pid>/smaps' kernel file to calculate the memory use. This will include shared memory space! Ending the program won't necessarily release the reported amount of RAM.

The output will be in the format: '<program_name> = <number_of_bytes> # <size in human readable format>

OPTIONS

-?, -h, --help

--log-secure

Set the log level to 1, 2 or 3 respectively. Be aware that level 3 generates a significant amount of log data.

Commands:

--program <name>

This is the name of the program to report memory usage of.
