My original post
 
One of the Linux bees says it is very much convenient to grab memory
statistics in Linux than Solaris and gives the following example.
 
$ cat /proc/meminfo
        total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached:
Mem: 2104586240 1993162752 111423488 0 224419840 1421848576
Swap: 2146787328 0 2146787328
MemTotal: 2055260 kB
MemFree: 108812 kB
MemShared: 0 kB
Buffers: 219160 kB
Cached: 1388524 kB
SwapCached: 0 kB
Active: 693440 kB
ActiveAnon: 218584 kB
-------------------------------------
 
I tried to convince him with "prtconf | grep "Memory size" and vmstat's
used memory in Kbytes. He does not agree and I want to find a better
way for this. As on now his way looks better because I have to use two
commands and little mathematics.
 
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance and I will summarize.
