doing a for loop adding up the results
Hi there

If I run a 'swap -l' on my solaris box, i get

swapfile dev swaplo blocks free
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s1 54,65 8 67119560 65655144
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2 54,65 8 33119522 32655122


I wanted to run a for loop adding up the totals of each column 4 , excluding the header then divide the total by 2, so i got as far as

Code:
for n in `swap -l | grep -v swapfile | awk {'print $4'}; do

# Then i drew a blank on how exactly im going to add them all up 

done

can anybody point me in the right direction ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

swap -l | /usr/xpg4/bin/awk '/^\//{c+=$4}END{print (c/2)}'
