    If the program is still running

    use this command:
    ps -eo vsz -o fname |grep
    Example to see size for snmpd (SNMP Daemon)

    $ps -eo vsz -o fname|grep snmpd
    8592 snmpd

    The first column will give you SIZE, according to manual
    SIZE is the virtual
    size of the process (code+data+stack).
    If the program ends even before you can do anything, try this
    Press ^Z when the program starts.
    Now the program is in stop state, you could run your ps command to see how much your process uses.
    Once you are done use 'fg' command to resume the stopped process.


    Thanks & Regards
