Memory usage in HPUX

Sumit Roy — Thu, 29 Aug 2002 05:38:02 GMT

Hi,
I need to find the memory usage in HPUX. I have tried getrusage but it is not supported. All the fields return 0 value.

I saw somebody provide a workaround using syscall. But where is syscall defined. Also, if it is not in the installation, how do I install syscall.

If anybody has any suggestion let me know.

There is a 'c' program in this thread from Mark Van Hassel that should help. In fact there are a lot of useful scripts/programs.

I use a script to get the free memory, which you can then use expr to subtract it from the total memory to get mem usage. Don't know if that's exactly what you want, but it might help.

Cheers!

Not sure what kind of information you are looking for but you get some degree of memory information from SAM in 'Performand monitors - System properties - Memory'

Thanks everybody. I tried out the script suggested by Michael and it works.
Does anybody know how to get the same information in AIX.
