Find memory usages in user mode

[rayofmoon]

How can I find memory usages in user mode without
using glance or top command?
OR
How can I grep memory usages from glance command?

Can anybody help me.

Hi rayofmoon:

(* kinda like moon beam. I'm a baby boomer and I knew some kids named moonbeam. :-) *)

Here is a list of all man pages for all user commands. The first url is the first half of the alphabet. The second url is the last half of the alphabet. The commands are listed alphabetically.

Start 'ps'. Refer to 'vsz' and 'rsz' arguements.

Also, search the itrc for UNIX95. This is a very good system administrator command that you may be able to use as a user. But I don't know. I haven't been a user since, oh, college?

glance has a mode called advisor mode. This allows you to output any glance metric you want. You mention user mode memory

# vi mymetrics
print gbl_cpu_user_mode_util, gbl_cpu_sys_mode_util, gbl_cpu_idle_util

Run Glance to output the metrics
# glance -adviser_only -syntax ./mymetrics -j 10
4.0 1.3 94.7
0.2 0.7 99.1

You could use GBL_MEM_UTIL and GBL_USER_UTIL


# vi mymetrics2
print date,time,gbl_mem_UTIL, gbl_user_util

# glance -adviser_only -syntax ./mymetrics2 -j 30

that should print out the memory metrics every 30 seconds.
