I need to find out how much memory a C code uses and how long it takes to run.  What command should I use to get this information?

Hi,

The command 'ps u' gives you size and resident set size figures -- use 'man ps' for some good definitions of these fields

USER       PID %CPU %MEM   SZ  RSS    TTY STAT    STIME  TIME COMMAND
root     13772  0.0  0.0  352  412  pts/0 A    11:06:42  0:00 ksh
root     11394  0.0  0.0  208  260  pts/0 A    13:13:40  0:00 ps u


Use the 'time' command to see how long your programs take to run -- like this 'time ls'

You could also try the "top" command for memory as well. I just learned about a week or so ago.
