A couple of weeks ago, "Hakim, Shlomo" <shlomo_hakim_at_icomverse.com> posted
a question about how to find the amount of physical memory in a system.
I reviewed his summary, but none of the answers were quite what I need.
Grepping "/var/adm/messages" or the output of "uerf -R" won't work because
both need sysadmin privileges, and I need a shell command that any user
can run. Since I need a shell command, code using "getsysinfo()" won't
do. And the one solution I was excited about, the command "vmstat -P",
doesn't work on my system, probably because my version of OSF1 is too old
(OSF1 V3.2 -- I know, I know, but I'm stuck with it).
So, does anyone know of a shell command that shows how much physical
memory a system has, and which can be run by any user? Thanks in advance
to all who respond.
