Hi all!
Working on Oracle v8i/9i on Unix Sun Solaris v8.0.
I am experiencing excessive paging & Swapping.Would like to know the cause.
I guess:could be due to inappropriate setting of Unix Kernel Parameters...
Please correct me if I am wrong!

Hi all,
This might sound silly but i am trying to determine if i have sufficient memory or not.

mysql_zap
MYSQL_ZAP(1) MySQL Database System MYSQL_ZAP(1)
NAME
mysql_zap - kill processes that match a pattern
SYNOPSIS
mysql_zap [-signal] [-?Ift] pattern
DESCRIPTION
mysql_zap kills processes that match a pattern. It uses the ps command and Unix signals, so it runs on Unix and Unix-like systems.
Invoke mysql_zap like this:
shell> mysql_zap [-signal] [-?Ift] pattern
A process matches if its output line from the ps command contains the pattern. By default, mysql_zap asks for confirmation for each
process. Respond y to kill the process, or q to exit mysql_zap. For any other response, mysql_zap does not attempt to kill the process.
If the -signal option is given, it specifies the name or number of the signal to send to each process. Otherwise, mysql_zap tries first
with TERM (signal 15) and then with KILL (signal 9).
mysql_zap supports the following additional options:
o --help, -?, -I
Display a help message and exit.
o -f
Force mode. mysql_zap attempts to kill each process without confirmation.
o -t
Test mode. Display information about each process but do not kill it.
