Shell script

Can you let me provide me the script if the below memory percentage goes beyond 70% so that I can schedule in the crontab.

Code:
 
swapinfo -tam | grep "memory"
memory         4876        2703         2173   55%

Any attempts from your side?

I have tried below.

Code:
 CHECK="`swapinfo -tam | grep "memory"`
 
echo $CHECK | awk '{print $5}'
 
 SPACE="`echo $CHECK | awk '{print $5}'`"
echo $SPACE

.

Is there any command better than I used.

Hello ramkumar,

I am pretty much sure your shown script would have not worked, as you have used "` together. You could try following as I am not root as of now so didn't test it, but it may help you.
Code:
cat test_memory.ksh
CHECK=`swapinfo -tam | awk '/memory/ {print $5}'`
THD=80
if [[ $CHECK -gt $THD ]]
then
 echo "Memory is HIGHER than 80%"
else
 echo "Memory usage is fine."
fi

Thanks,
R. Singh

If I try any of the following in bash or ksh:
Code:
[ 55% -gt 70 ]
[[ 55% -gt 70 ]]
test 55% -gt 70

I get a syntax error because % is not numeric. Perhaps something more like the following would work better:
Code:
CHECK=$(swapinfo -tam | awk '/memory/ {print substr($5, 1, length($5) - 1)}')
THD=70
if [ $CHECK -gt $THD ]
then	echo "Memory usage is HIGHER than 70%"
else	echo "Memory usage is fine."
fi

(Note that this is untested since I don't have swapinfo on my system.)

If you want to try this on a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk.
