Virtual Memory

UNIX HP-UX
1

Hi!
I work with HP-UX and I have to monitorize the use of virtual memory for different processes.
(java processes for Tibco Adapter) And if these processes exceed a limit send a message to the syslog.
I don�t know how to monitorize this...
Should I do a script? or use an aplication, for example glance?

any commands or ideas would be great!!! :stuck_out_tongue:
Thanks and regards! :wink:

What type of message are you getting in the syslog.
glance might be a way forward, mwa might also be useful.

I'm trying to use glance.
Is there a way i can know how much virtual memory a process is using?
and print it in a file running glance in the background?

thanks :slight_smile:

There is a memory info program called kmeminfo

goto irtc.hp.com and do a search.

Output might look like the below.
