Thanks for the flood of replies.
For those telling me to use prstat : I really like that tool, but prstat
doesn't give me global idle / user / iowait / etc stats for the system. It
doesn't tell me either how much memory is left available.
I know I could get all the information from vmstat + prstat, but having
just one application doing it is convenient.
As for top, it looks like the version I have (from sunfreeware) is in sync
with the output of 'swap -s'. Why 'swap -l' doesn't seem to match 'swap
-s' is beyond me, though - the amount of by allocated from 'swap -s'
should match, IMHO, the 'blocks - free' from 'swap -l'. Unless I'm
missing something.
