Fix for: How can I display the memory usage of each process if I do a 'ps -ef'?

Low Risk

I could not find an option for shared memory, but I did find options for % of total physical memory and the amount of swapspace that would be needed to swap out the process. This and much more is documented in the man page for ps.
