cli to track app utilizing CPU

[Jonathan Bartlett]

"top".  If you hit "M" (must be capitalized) it will sort by memory usage.

Also, look at "ps".  To see all apps and their sizes, you can do

ps -ax -o pid,vsz

"pid" prints the process ID, and "vsz" prints the virtual memory size.
Other output stuff is in the "ps" man page.
