Is there a way to determine how much real memory is on a system other than opening up the machine and looking at the memory cards? On our old RT, I used to go into 'crash' and look at the meminbox symbol, but this symbol is not defined on crash on AIX 3.1. Thanks. BRYAN R.

The command bootinfo -r will return the number of bytes of real memory. Note that its default permissions are -r-xr-x--- bin bin, so a normal user will not be able to execute it (I don't know why the permissions are set this way). - Fred My remarks and opinions are mine alone... ____________________________________________________________________________ | | | | Fred L.

The easiest way to determine the amount of physical mamory (and all other physical characteristics such as adapters, drives, etc.) on an RS/6000 is by using the 'lscfg' command (lscfg = list configurations). Typing 'lscfg' at the prompt will result in the generation of a detailed list.
