# echo "freemem/D" | adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

This will tell you the amount of free memory in pages (4 KB by default),

# echo "phys_mem_pages/D" | adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

This will tell you the total physical memory installed in the system in pages (4KB by default).

Used Memory = Total - free memory

Hi Edwin,

Get the total physical memory installed on the box. There are quite a few ways.. 'grep Physical /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log' 'echo "phys_mem_pages/D" |adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/mem' etc.,

Run 'vmstat 5 2' and note the 'free' column and multiply with 4 and you will get free memory in KB.

'Total Memory - Free Memory' will give you used memory.

Hi Edwin,

Sorry about my post. I didn't really mean to answer an already answered question. My brower waited for quite sometime before it contacted itrc.

You can ignore the message.
