See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge From SAM ======== 1) goto Performance Monitors -> System Properties -> Memory 2) check Clock Frequency: value From the command-line ===================== If you are root, you can use adb to query the kernel: # echo "memory_installed_in_machine/D" | adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/mem | \ tail -1 | awk '$2 > 0 { print $2 / 256 }' Or if /etc/dmesg is still current, you can grep it: $ /etc/dmesg | grep "real mem" | tail -1 | \ awk '$4 > 0 { print $4 / 1048576 }' A few more methods that can be used (as root only): o As of 10.x, the following SAM command will show memory in MB: # /usr/sam/lbin/getmem However, getmem reportedly does not work on systems with >512 MB of RAM, and it is not supported by HP. o It's painfully slow, but the following cute method will also give the total MB: # expr `wc -c /dev/mem | cut -d' ' -f1` / 1048576 o The following creative method suggested by Siem Korteweg <siem@xs4all.nl> prints the size in MB but works only on 10.x: # dd if=/dev/mem of=/dev/null bs=1024k 2>&1 | grep in | cut -d+ -f1 Programmatically ================ Here is a short program that will print the system's RAM size (can be run by any user): /* mem.c - To compile: cc +DAportable -o mem mem.c */ #include <errno.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/param.h> #include <sys/pstat.h> #define BYTES_PER_MB 1048576 main() { struct pst_static pst; union pstun pu; pu.pst_static = &pst; if ( pstat( PSTAT_STATIC, pu, (size_t)sizeof(pst), (size_t)0, 0 ) != -1 ) { printf( "Physical RAM = %ld MB\n", (long)( (double)pst.physical_memory * pst.page_size / BYTES_PER_MB ) ); exit( 0 ); } else { perror("pstat_getstatic"); exit( errno ); } } User Contributions:Top Document: comp.sys.hp.hpux FAQ Previous Document: 8.31 What OS capacity limits exist?
