I need to put a program together to determine the total, available memory and total and available swap on unix machines. I have been searching for weeks and I seem to run into dead ends. Every unix platform I look at has a different way to determine memory info.
Any sugggestions or new... (4 Replies)
Hi,
First of all I appreciate this group very much for its informative discussions and posts.
Here is my question.
I have one process whose virtual memory size increases linearly from 6MB to 12MB in 20 minutes. Does that mean my process has memory leaks?
In what cases does the... (4 Replies)
Hello all

Hi,
Would any one be so kind to explain me :
are ulimits defined for each user seperately ? When ?
Specialy what is the impact of :
max locked memory
and
virtual memory
on performance of applications for a user.
Many thanks.
PS :
this is what I can see in MAN :

Hi All,
Does anyone know what the best commands in the UNIX command line are for obtaining this info:
current CPU usage
memory usage
virtual memory usage
preferably with date and time parameters too?
thanks

Hi,
Im working on Solaris 9 on SPARC-32 bit running on an Ultra-80, and I have to find out the following:-
1. Total Physical Memory in the system(total RAM).
2. Available Physical Memory(i.e. RAM Usage)
3. Total (Logical) Memory in the system
4. Available (Logical) Memory.

Hi,
I have a strange issue where the total memory on the server is showing low.
At the moment 8 GB of memory is installed and only 3 GB is showing on the shell prompt. I am using the commands free -m and vmstat to check the memory. Please help me out in identifying the issue.
With regards... (3 Replies)
Hi,
I have a server box with 16GB ram in it, within the server box there are 3 VMs running with a total allocation of 9GB.
if I add up all the numbers under memory info using vmstat I get 15.8GB so I can say it adds up to 16Gb...
Is there a way to see from the command line how much memory... (2 Replies)

sg_get_cpu_percents
sg_get_cpu_stats(3) Library Functions Manual sg_get_cpu_stats(3)NAME
sg_get_cpu_stats, sg_get_cpu_stats_diff, sg_get_cpu_percents - get cpu usage
SYNOPSIS
#include <statgrab.h>
sg_cpu_percents *sg_get_cpu_percents(void);
sg_cpu_stats *sg_get_cpu_stats(void);
sg_cpu_stats *sg_get_cpu_stats_diff(void);
DESCRIPTION
sg_get_cpu_stats() and sg_get_cpu_stats_diff() both return static pointers of type sg_cpu_stats. sg_get_cpu_stats() returns the total
amount of "ticks" the operating system has spent in each of the different states. sg_get_cpu_stats_diff() returns the difference in "ticks"
for each of the states since last time sg_get_cpu_stats_diff() or sg_get_cpu_stats() was called. If it has never been called, it will
return the result of sg_get_cpu_stats().
The value stored (the "ticks") will vary between operating systems. For example Solaris has a total of 100 per second, while Linux has sub-
stantially more. Also, different operating systems store different information - you won't find nice cpu on Solaris for example.
Because of this, you will ideally always want to work on a scale against the total, or in percentages.
sg_get_cpu_percents() returns a pointer to a static sg_cpu_percents. The function calls sg_get_cpu_stats_diff() and changes the values into
percentages. If it has never been called before (and nor has sg_get_cpu_stats() or sg_get_cpu_stats_diff()), the returned percentages will
be the systems total ever since its uptime. (Unless the counters have cycled)
RETURN VALUES
There are two structures returned by the CPU statistics functions.
typedef struct{
long long user;
long long kernel;
long long idle;
long long iowait;
long long swap;
long long nice;
long long total;
time_t systime;
}sg_cpu_stats;
typedef struct{
float user;
float kernel;
float idle;
float iowait;
float swap;
float nice;
time_t time_taken;
}sg_cpu_percents;
user kernel idle iowait swap nice
The different CPU states.
systime time_taken
The time taken in seconds since the last call of the function, or the system time.
