See some examples - http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1057532

Just choose one , which is best for you and add crontab entry for that script to mail results.

hy

to mail it use the script you want:
i.e. swapinfo -t | awk '/^total/ {printf "%2.2f GiB Avail\t%2.2f GiB Free\n",$2/1048576,$4/1048576}' | sendmail blah@blubb.bleh

hi,

once you have collected the desired information, you can forward it using the mail facility. e.g.

/usr/bin/uuencode $logfile "ServerMemUtil.txt"|mailx -m -s "`hostname`-Server Memory utilisation - `date`" $emailadd1

where $emailadd1=
$logfile=

hope this helps too!

kind regards

Abhyapak,

You only need to run glance in advisor only mode.And mailx the output,

Attached the script cpumem.sh and cpumem.syn for this purpose.

Enjoy and Cheers,

Avinash,,

After generating the report you can get automated email by just putting a small script in the cron , with

# uuencode logfile.txt logfile.txt | mailx -s "Server-x cpu and memory usage report for `date ` " youremail@domain.com

Cheers,
Raj.

#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/swapinfo | grep memory | awk '{print $5}' | mailx -s "Memory Utilization from host xyz" yourid@yourdomain.com

Create above script with execute permission and update crontab.

Avinash,

Btw, which memory utilization are you looking for , Physical memory or Virtual Memory utilization ?

Cheers,
Raj.

I like the output of the memdetail c program:

$ /usr/local/bin/memdetail

Memory Stat total used avail %used
physical 10080.0 8445.1 1634.9 84%
active virtual 7313.6 1179.7 6133.9 16%
active real 5818.8 569.8 5248.9 10%
memory swap 7707.8 1715.5 5992.2 22%
device swap 28080.0 6852.3 21227.7 24%

Just use the native HPUX compiler to compile the attached.

Then you can run it from cron say every hour?

/usr/local/bin/memdetail | mailx -s "memdetail `/usr/bin/date`" you@yourdomain.com
