It just sums the shared memory for every process and this is obviously wrong.
You should ignore that report.

Hello,
The last line of prstat shows load average.
I am unable to figure out what actually it is.
I have read the man pages and also googled, all for no use.
Can somebody help me, as to what should be the avg. load of the system for best performance and how is this load of prstat calculated. (6 Replies)

hi all,
was trying to figure out how busy my app was by looking at the performance of the app server. did a 'prstat -s rss' command to find the app servers using most memory.
Found a command 'prstat -m' which is meant to show more details on each pid but the output of this command... (1 Reply)

hi all,
have a ksh script where i am doing a prstat -m -u osuser 1 1 >> $FILE_NAME but for some reason it only writes 15 lines wheres when i run the same command manually from command prompt it prints out 60 lines.
why is it not writing the full 60 lines to the file ??

shmdt
SHMAT(2) BSD System Calls Manual SHMAT(2)
NAME
shmat, shmdt -- map/unmap shared memory
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>
void *
shmat(int shmid, void *shmaddr, int shmflg);
int
shmdt(void *shmaddr);
DESCRIPTION
shmat() maps the shared memory segment associated with the shared memory identifier shmid into the address space of the calling process. The
address at which the segment is mapped is determined by the shmaddr parameter. If it is equal to 0, the system will pick an address itself.
Otherwise, an attempt is made to map the shared memory segment at the address shmaddr specifies. If SHM_RND is set in shmflg, the system will
round the address down to a multiple of SHMLBA bytes (SHMLBA is defined in <sys/shm.h> ). A shared memory segment can be mapped read-only by
specifying the SHM_RDONLY flag in shmflg. shmdt() unmaps the shared memory segment that is currently mapped at shmaddr from the calling
process' address space. shmaddr must be a value returned by a prior shmat() call. A shared memory segment will remain existant until it is
removed by a call to shmctl(2) with the IPC_RMID command.
RETURN VALUES
shmat() returns the address at which the shared memory segment has been mapped into the calling process' address space when successful,
shmdt() returns 0 on successful completion. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned, and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
shmat() will fail if:
[EACCES] The calling process has no permission to access this shared memory segment.
[ENOMEM] There is not enough available data space for the calling process to map the shared memory segment.
[EINVAL] shmid is not a valid shared memory identifier. shmaddr specifies an illegal address.
[EMFILE] The number of shared memory segments has reached the system-wide limit.
shmdt() will fail if:
[EINVAL] shmaddr is not the start address of a mapped shared memory segment.
