MemWatch

Memory monitor: view usage, find top consumers, watch trends, inspect per-process memory, check swap, and alert on thresholds.

Commands

Command	Description
memwatch status	Current memory usage with visual bar and breakdown
memwatch top [n]	Top N memory-consuming processes (default: 10)
memwatch watch	Snapshot memory every 2s for 10 iterations
memwatch process <pid>	Memory details for a specific PID (VmRSS, VmSize, PSS, etc.)
memwatch swap	Swap usage details with top swap consumers
memwatch alert <threshold>	Check if memory usage exceeds threshold %
memwatch detailed	Full /proc/meminfo dump
memwatch compare	Compare memory now vs 30 seconds later (delta)
memwatch version	Show version

Examples

memwatch status         # → usage %, visual bar, total/avail/cached
memwatch top 5          # → top 5 RAM consumers (PID, %MEM, RSS, CMD)
memwatch watch          # → 10 snapshots, 2s apart
memwatch process 1234   # → VmSize, VmRSS, VmSwap, PSS, threads
memwatch swap           # → swap devices, usage, top swap consumers
memwatch alert 80       # → 🚨 if usage > 80%, ✅ if under
memwatch detailed       # → full /proc/meminfo
memwatch compare        # → two snapshots 30s apart with delta

Requirements

• free, ps (standard)
• /proc/meminfo, /proc/[pid]/status (Linux)
