List total memusage by 32bit programs and 64bit programs

Question

How to get the total amount of memory used by 32bit applications and 64bit applications from the command line in Windows.

I tried using tasklist /FI "MODULES eq wow64.dll" /FO CSV and then parsing the output and summing. But tasklist just freezes with any command that has something to do with modules (tasklist /m and tasklist /fi "modules eq wow64.dll" freeze).

Are there any alternatives? Or some idea why tasklist freezes.

Answer 1

You don't mention what version of windows. Are you using a 64bit capable version of Tasklist?

Also, your title asks for a program's memory use, but your example asks for a module use - Which is more important to you?

Other tools that will give info on modules:

Listdlls.exe from Sysinternals: Listdlls.exe -d wow64.dll You can obtain module totals in much the same manner as your Tasklist.exe example.

Native tool: Tlist.exe Less like the tasklist example because you can only get one pid at a time. Pipe pids into a loop and use find.exe for the DLL of your choice.

Pslist.exe from sysinternals pslist -m gives both working and virtual memory used. Nothing about DLL's though.

Arg. I just noticed this was posted a year ago - Hope you found an answer....
