Memory load test
is there a program out there that will put a memory load on my HP_ux 11.11 box. I need to stress mem/swap to setup memory thresholds for my monitoring software. I am using Nimbus to monitor memory and swap. glance is telling me that memory is never past 70 percent however nimbus will page out saying the box is at 100 percent. I am just trying to test so I can go back to the vender if I need to. Thanks Mike

you could write a small program to malloc() a huge block of memory or create a huge array or something.
