The uerf(8) command displays a report of ongoing system events, including system startup information, which just happens to include the physical memory installed in the system ("real mem"). This display is typically quite long and prints to stdout, so piping it through "more" is a good idea. ---------------------------------- David Barrett UUCP: ...!decwrl!riscy.dec.com!dbb Digital Equipment Corporation New York ULTRIX Resource Center INET: dbb@riscy.dec.com These opinions are mine, all mine!!!

To display amount of physical memory:
uerf -R | more
/STARTUP (searh for string "STARTUP")
Under the header "MESSAGE", the 3rd and 4th line display the
amount of physical memory.
To display amount of virtual memory:
/etc/pstat -s
