UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi!
I'm not a UNIX fanatic but I like using it for the
Oracle database since it's not stable in the Windows NT
environment (what is?).

Problem: Is there any command to show me the amount
of installed physical-memory in the machine? Is
there some other way to show the processes which uses the
most CPU etc? All together: Does UNIX a an equivalence
to the Windows NT Task Manager?

Hi
I can help you to some extent. Well if you want to know the amount of physical memmory installed you can give the "prtconf" command.

Hi,

Yes prtconf is the accurate answer for Solaris.
Tre here other commands that will show you the memory amount :
dmesg |more - will show you the system boot log where it indicates many resources of it.
and also sar, which is a bit complicated.

But what you are looking for is "top".

If you don't have it on your machine try to DL and install it. it's a must.
There's also proctool - an advanced online processes table info.
Both can be fetched from http://www.sunfreeware.com
