I know you can get the Resident set size from /proc/self/status, but would it be accurate percentage to divide it by the Total Memory found by /proc/meminfo ?

  • Use top Command in Terminal. You can use top options to monitor a single process, read this page: tecmint.com/12-top-command-examples-in-linux

  • This was pretty accurate, but the problem is now ; My senior wanted me to measure the CPU percentage during "HIGH" temperature for linux system, but he mention it would not have access to the proc files.
