script to log free mem and disk space
I'm just learning shell scripting and am new to Unix/Linux. For the past week I've been logging how much free mem is on my server by using the
'$ top' command, and the free disk space in a few directories by doing
'$ df -h'.
It sucks doing that every hour. Can you help me write a script that will do it for me?

I'm getting ready to start a LU from Sol 9 to Solaris 10. I want to ensure that I have enough disk space for future upgrades. What I don't know is what free space Solaris requires.
If I have 10GB of free space in /opt, will Solaris 10 use that for a LU?
Or, do I need to allocate 10GB of space... (5 Replies)

Hi,
I need about 500G space in one corporate solaris server.
However, I am not sure which command to use to check this.
There are few volume groups in the server, and I deleted unused, old volume groups to clear some space.
However, now I am not sure how to check the free space itself.

malloc_trim
MALLOC_TRIM(3) Linux Programmer's Manual MALLOC_TRIM(3)
NAME
malloc_trim - release free memory from the top of the heap
SYNOPSIS
#include <malloc.h>
void malloc_trim(size_t pad);
DESCRIPTION
The malloc_trim() function attempts to release free memory at the top of the heap (by calling sbrk(2) with a suitable argument).
The pad argument specifies the amount of free space to leave untrimmed at the top of the heap. If this argument is 0, only the minimum
amount of memory is maintained at the top of the heap (i.e., one page or less). A nonzero argument can be used to maintain some trailing
space at the top of the heap in order to allow future allocations to be made without having to extend the heap with sbrk(2).
RETURN VALUE
The malloc_trim() function returns 1 if memory was actually released back to the system, or 0 if it was not possible to release any memory.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
CONFORMING TO
This function is a GNU extension.
NOTES
This function is automatically called by free(3) in certain circumstances; see the discussion of M_TOP_PAD and M_TRIM_THRESHOLD in mal-
lopt(3).
This function cannot release free memory located at places other than the top of the heap.
NOTES
This function only releases memory in the main arena.
