Dear all, I would like to know how to display the swap space left on Ultrix 4.1?? Thanks, Shahryar -- 'How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable Seem to me all the uses of this world!

Depending on what you want to know you can: 1. Use the -s option of pstat(8) to display, how much total page/swap is available, how much reserved, how much is actually being used for text, data and shared memory, and how swapfrag pieces there are. ULTRIX V4 doesn't allocate page/swap until it's needed, but it does reserve it whenever virual memory is allocated. This way we don't have to worry about a deadlock problem. 2. Get Monitor V1.2 (or .3) from gatekeeper.dec.com. It has an option to watch page/swap space. The next version will display reserved page/swap space on V4.x systems. 3. Write you own program to examine the swap device table and/or the swap map. > > Thanks, > > Shahryar > -- Alan Rollow alan@nabeth.cxn.dec.com
