"top" to find out which process chews most memory (memory leakage?)

[sunhux G]

Hi,

Is there a way to run "top" such that it sorts by memory
usage as "free -m" showed very little memory left (3.4Mb)
ever since the outsourced developer installed Oracle sso.

The following is the top output currently :

top - 18:04:17 up 19 days, 5 min,  3 users,  load average: 0.27, 1.43, 2.03
Tasks: 281 total,   1 running, 280 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s):  0.3% us,  2.1% sy,  0.0% ni, 97.5% id,  0.1% wa,  0.0% hi,  0.0% si

How would you approach it to find out if there's memory leakage?


Thanks
