Hello,

- virtual RAM -- -----------------------
- swap - ---------------------------

/proc/meminfo is your friend

Then you're in the wrong forum...
but you can use this in hpux:

# swapinfo -tam

Sorry. Now i noticed that the forum is for linux here.
I don't have exection rights on swapinfo
Anything else ?

/usr/bin/free is a nice front for /proc/meminfo
makes it friendly to read.

For hpux: swapinfo, vmstat
For linux: cat /proc/meminfo, free
