UNIX users

[Nighthawk]

I just use SAM and check the computer characteristics (it tells you tons about the CPU as well).

It helps that I'm an admin so I get rights to do that http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

SAM?

[MiKe85]

SAM - Sequence Alignment and Modeling system
(I believe we are talking about the same SAM http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif)
http://www.cse.ucsc.edu/research/compbio/sam.html
http://trace.wisc.edu/world/computer_access/unix/unixshar.html

These links might help a bit, if not go to http://www.yahoo.com (Or any other search engine you use) and type in "Unix SAM" or "SAM UNIX"
GOOD LUCK!!

Thanks for the replies. I eventually found it here (http://unix-guide.addr.com/unixguide.shtml) . The computer is running Tru64 and so the command was "uerf | grep memory".

I think the SAM that Nighthawk was talking about was an admin command.

Anyway, thanks again for the replies.

Is there a command line prompt that can tell you how much RAM is in a computer running UNIX? Both a friend and I have done some research but have been unable to come up with anything. This is just one of those things that comes up every now and then that isn't real tough or critical but can really become an annoyance when it can't be found. Thanks in advance for any help.
