[comp.sources.wanted] Wanted - Unix Kernel Info

lwv@n8emr.UUCP (Larry W. Virden) (04/26/88)

Does anyone know of a tool which would show me how physical memory is being
used at a particular moment on a Unix system?  Info for ATT and BSD would be
appreciated.

The most recent problem which has arisen where I would like this info is that
after a few programs are running on a system and have malloc'd some memory,
a user attempts to attach some shared memory and is not that there is not 
enough phyiscal memory.  On an 8 meg machine, 500,000 bytes doesnt sound 
like it should be causing problems, so I would like to see where all the memory
is being used.  Thanks!

I know of a commercial tool called pmt (Performance Monitoring Tool) and it
is available from MSS in Illinois(Naperville/Lisle area). It is pretty
decent but I don't know if it supports SV.2/3 with shared memory.
