Graphical Memory Usage Tool
2007-12-25 12:00:00
holidays, and vacation, I simply ran out of time...but enough with the
pleasantries...on to the good stuff:
Here's the original question:
<clip>
>>Has anyone seen, or know about, a tool for Solaris 2.x that displays
the
>>complete memory usage of a system (per process) in a real-time,
>>graphical format, similar to "gmemusage" on SGI systems?
<clip>
...and the answer IS!
proctool, by an overwhelming majority!
It can be obtained from:
http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/sun-info/mde/proctool/
As you might guess, I haven't had time to test it yet, but I'll get
there...maybe next year. :-)
There were several other interesting suggestions, which I'll be checking
out as well. I've included clips from some of the responses concerning
these as well.
