Author Who is using all the memory?

Hi,

Is there a shell command/tool that would tell me what process is using the
most memory.

I am on a Unix VPS and I would like to find what service is taking the most
memory.
Or even better, what page is using the most resources.

Is there a command that would give that kind of information?

Thanks

Simon

'top' (table of processes) provides that information, and is (I believe)
native to most modern Unix variants.
