Most Unix workstations run at 10-15% of their real performance, due to too little RAM. Marcus> What is the best way to watch swapping activity? Try "man vmstat". /Lars

Just do vm_stat. The output is pretty much self-explanatory, if you're familiar with virtual memory techniques. Mark Adler madler@pooh.caltech.edu

I think so since the command is vm_stat. Also, the program Monitor (available at most NeXT archive sites in the 1.0-release directory) shows a realtime display of swapping activity. >/Lars >-- >Lars Fischer, fischer@iesd.auc.dk |Erst kommt das Fressen, dann die Moral >CS Dept., Univ. of Aalborg, DENMARK. | - B.
