List of Processes consuming most of the RAM/Memory with ps command – Linux

This command will list the processes which are consuming most of the RAM. I am using ‘head -n 10‘ to list only top 10 memory intense process. You may remove it from the last.
Command:-

ps -eo size,pid,user,command --sort -size | awk '{ hr=$1/1024 ; printf("%13.2f Mb ",hr) } { for ( x=4 ; x<=NF ; x++ ) { printf("%s ",$x) } print "" }' | head -n 10
