Hi Thirumurgan,

The CodeRanch is Not a Code Mill. We can try to help you solve your problems, but we will not provide full solutions. If you want full solutions there are consultancy services you can look into to get the work done.

The question you ask, in particular, is a difficult one, because it will depend on what information each OS provides. The method for getting that information is most likely OS dependent, and may require native code. One approach on Windows would be to call "tasklist.exe" from Runtime.exec(), which provides a list of the running processes and their memory consumption. Parse the results and you should get the answer you are looking for. Other OSes will have different tools, and I am not convinced all versions of Windows have tasklist.
