[comp.unix.ultrix] How much memory does YOUR DS5000/200 use whilst up ?

aem@aber-cs.UUCP (Alec D.E. Muffett) (11/29/90)

We have a DS5000/200 with 16Mb of memory and 2 (and a bit) Gb of disk. 
Ethercards, big mono monitor, mouse, the usual works.  Ultrix 4.0.

Open up 4 DECterms, one onto the local machine, three others rlog'ged
into other hosts.  Do a bit of heavy I/O (viz: On another host, DUMP
something onto some disk that is NFS-mounted from the 5000/200.)

We have 0.9Mb left of our 16Mb memory according to 'top'. 

Where did it all go to ? 	Answers please, on a postcard... 8)

	I'd guess that most of it is tied up in dxterm and the
	X server.  One of the many options to ps(1) will tell
	you how much memory different programs are using.

	Unless you need a feature of dxterm, xterm is smaller.
	Look for it on the U*XUNMIT400 subset.
