Top ten (or whatever) memory utilizing processes (with children aggregate)

This command loops over all of the processes in a system and creates an associative array in awk with the process name as the key and the sum of the RSS as the value. The associative array has the effect of summing a parent process and all of it's children. It then prints the top ten processes sorted by size.

Print Memory Utilization Percentage For a specific process and it's children

Change the name of the process and what is echoed to suit your needs. The brackets around the h in the grep statement cause grep to skip over "grep httpd", it is the equivalent of grep -v grep although more elegant.

Print unique ipaddresses as they come in from Apache Access Log File

Prints the unique IP Addresses as they arrive from an Apache `access.log` file.

The '-W interactive' tells awk to start writing to stdout immediately and not buffer the output.

This command builds on the uniq lines without sorting command (http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/4389/remove-duplicate-entries-in-a-file-without-sorting.)

List your largest installed packages.

Calculates the size on disk for each package installed on the filesystem (or removed but not purged). This is missing the

| sort -rn

which would put the biggest packges on top. That was purposely left out as the command is slightly on the slow side

Also you may need to run this as root as some files can only be checked by du if you can read them ;)
