How to check the memory usage of scripts in home folder, or if possible in a specific folder? I have 26 scripts in /home/rasat/.fvwm.

Are you asking how much memory is taken up by the scripts in that folder?
__ or
asking how much memory is being taken up when those scripts when they are running?

If you have something like the Xfce Task Manager program, it will show your scripts in the process tree, with their "RSS" resident memory usage and CPU % utilization, as well as a few other optional measurements.
The location of the scripts will be shown if you elect to display "full command line" also.

Do you mean disk space?

My question is, how much memory is taken up by the scripts in that folder? They are individual items that have class names and Window ID by Fvwm (FvwmButtons, FvwmPager, FvwmBacker, Script, etc.). Surely visible with the right bash command.

ram memory or disk memory?

Hmm.. well... ls will show you disk space used.

For ram on a particular process, you can use the time command. or the ps command.

Had a look at Task Manager (xfce4-taskmanager), which gives the Ram memory that I was searching for. Missing are still scripts without a class, if these can be found.

You might try htop I prefer that to really find out whats going on.
