If you are refering to the 'aixmon' package, you have to be careful which
version of 'monitor' and which version of the OS you are running. Some of
the varibles the monitor looks at in the kernel change, and it gets real
funky results displaying memory (ie bogus).
What level of OS are you running, and what version of aixmon did you download?
