Sorry, This solution does not work.

I am looking at some command that will give me some details from which i can take the RAM size and the size info should be in fixed pattern so that i can parse. i am using the command in the java program. In the syslog or dmesg the location and contents will change dynamically.

Hi
i am right now using the command
echo "selclass qualifier memory;info'wait;infolog" | cstm itself but this the pipe symbol is not taken by the java program. The API i am using is getRuntime.exec()

Thanks

Or use the attached script called hpmem.

We can get RAM size from with dmesg command as,

dmesg | awk '/Physical/ { print "RAM Size = "$2/1024" "MB }'

This little script will do it for you:

HPUX=/stand/vmunix
MAJORREV=$(uname -r | cut -f2 -d .)
if [ $MAJORREV -ge "11.0" ]
then
MYSYMBOL="phys_mem_pages"
else
MYSYMBOL="physmem"
fi

MYMEM=$(echo "${MYSYMBOL}/D" \
| adb $HPUX /dev/kmem \
| grep "${MYSYMBOL}: *." \
| awk '{printf "%.0f MB\n",$2/256}')
echo $MYMEM
