I’ve an M1 MacBook Professional, and I’ve simply enabled quick person switching to permit my accomplice to make use of my system together with her personal account once I’m not utilizing it, as we will not justify the price of buying a second system for the occasional use she’s going to want it for.
I am a Software program Developer, and my MacBook solely has 16 GB of reminiscence, so I am fairly involved in regards to the system being left logged on (with numerous browser tabs open) consuming a superb chunk of the system reminiscence that I would fairly prefer to have launched when she’s not utilizing the MacBook.
I will set the system to mechanically signal out a person after a interval of inactivity so it is probably not an issue, however I am simply to know if there’s a great way of discovering out how a lot further reminiscence is consumed by a second person being signed in on the similar time.
I made a decision to place this to the check, so I’ve created an account for her and logged on, and I am looking for a reasonably correct measure of how a lot reminiscence the processes linked together with her energetic account are utilizing. I’ve had a glance in Exercise Monitor, and I can simply see all of the processes operating for her account, and while it is simple to see particular person quantities of reminiscence in use for every course of, it is troublesome to get a superb estimate of the entire reminiscence utilized by her account total. I do know I can take a look at the entire reminiscence utilization and examine the figures of two accounts signed in, versus only one, however I hoped for one thing a bit extra ‘scientific’ than that.
I can listing the entire processes operating together with her account simply with ps -u username, however that does not output the reminiscence utilization for every course of (or give a abstract).
Is there a clear technique of figuring out this?
