Check memory

bsdfan · 07-01-2010, 09:32 PM

Hi,

I'm not familiar with bsd os. Last company I maintain system using linux. This new company, work about 1 week already.

The OpenBSD use version 3.3, very very old. When I run command free mem, it's said command not found.

Any clues why?

Thanks.

Because the command isn't found?

Try top? Or "sysctl -a | grep -i memory" ?

Hi,

Code:

[yp  13 ]# sysctl -a | grep -i memory
[yp  14 ]#

Code:

Can anyone tell me how many physical memory I have?

Look at the beginning of dmesg(8) output.

dmesg(8) output can be displayed by invoking dmesg at the command-line. A copy of dmesg output at boot is also stored in /var/run/dmesg.boot. The directory contents of /var/log doesn't show this directory, so I can only assume that someone has deleted it.

You are working with a system of unknown state, patch level, & general upkeep. In my opinion, the faster you can move away from it, the less frustration you will continue to experience.

As stated on Daemonforums, official support for OpenBSD 3.3 was dropped nearly 5 years ago.
