shutdown & memory on OPENVMS?

[Nappy_1]

I need to know how to find how much memory an openvms machine is running?
and
How to shutdown the machine?

Hi,

Memory:

$ SHOW MEMORY

Shutdown (from a suitably privileged account):

$ @SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN

Assuming a moderately recent version of OpenVMS, you can convert the sometimes confusing BLOCKS unit into BYTES (which may make more sense to anyone who has to ask this question)

$ SET PROCESS/UNIT=BYTE
$ SHOW MEMORY

This will display the memory as KB, MB, GB or TB rather than the number of 0.5K blocks.
