vmstats interpreting
We are having performance issues on an alpha4100 server.
I can't paste a snapshot of my vmstat in here, but...
We have 4gb of memory. The actual memory stays consistant around 306k. Free is dropping into the 120 area. Wire is around 206k consistantly. consistantly.
My manual says that unix should be intelligent enough not to run out of memory.
We have 0% idle cpu. some page out.
Our online transacations seem to be "not too bad" but many of the things running at the command level are poor.
If the free memory is dropping this low and we have 4gb of memory, shouldnt the used be going up proportionally?
would this be indicative of a memory leak?

Hi,
I am writing a shell script which will check the status of a resource in a cluster and then display nicely to a user running the script at command line.
Basically the script runs a status command and then pulls certain keywords from the return and then should display a concise status.
