Show process mem usage in bytes, not %. Show process network usage.

How can I see how much memory in B/KB/MB a process use? ps and top show %.

And, how can I see network usage for a process?

About your 1st question, try to "man" ps.

ps -o pid,bsdstart,state,rss,args

there are other options that show virtual memory usages and some other memory informations.

exmap is a great tool of determining more accurate (than top and others) memory usage.

nethogs allows you to see per process network bandwidth usage.

Thanks.
I have read thrugh the manpages to ps briefly, but I came out empty.

Shuld have specified my wish better. I need a standard builtin tool to do this, beacause it's beeing called from a python script.

But thanks. Both tools will be installed to be used in general.
