timing your functions

hi everyone. If you have a function created in your code and you want to find out how long it takes for it to run you can use a struct called gettimeofday(). so lets say we have a function like this int myfunction (int r) { /*some math calculations*/ return answer; } How do i set up...

Swap config - Mirror swap or not?

Hello and thanks in advance. I have a Sun box with raid 1 on the O/S disks using solaris svm. I want to unmirror my swap partition, and add the slice on the second disk as an additional swap device. This would give me twice as much swap space. I have been warned not to do this by some...

In my server migration requirement, I need to compare if one file on old server is exactly the same as the corresponding file on the new server. For diff and comm, the inputs need to be sorted. But I do not want to disturb the content of the file and need to find byte-to-byte match. Please...

swapmem_on

swapmem_on(5)							     OBSOLETE							     swapmem_on(5)

NAME

       swapmem_on - OBSOLETE kernel tunable parameter

DESCRIPTION

       The tunable is obsolete.  Processes will always be allowed to use pseudo-swap space if it is available.

       In previous versions of HP-UX, system configuration required sufficient physical swap space for the maximum possible number of processes on
       the system.  This is because HP-UX reserves swap space for a process when it is created, to ensure that a running process never needs to be
       killed due to insufficient swap.

       This  was difficult, however, for systems needing gigabytes of swap space with gigabytes of physical memory, and those with workloads where
       the entire load would always be in core.  This tunable was created to allow system swap space to be less than core memory.   To	accomplish
       this,  a  portion  of  physical	memory	is  set aside as "pseudo-swap" space.  While actual swap space is still available, processes still
       reserve all the swap they will need at fork or execute time from the physical device or file system swap.  Once	this  swap  is	completely
       used,  new  processes  do  not  reserve	swap, and each page which would have been swapped to the physical device or file system is instead
       locked in memory and counted as part of the pseudo-swap space.

WARNINGS

       Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable  parameter  values.   After  installation,
       some  tunable  parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values.  For information about the effects of installation on tun-
       able values, consult the documentation for the kernel software being installed.	For information about optional kernel  software  that  was
       factory installed on your system, see at
