I don't know what I was smoking, but my AIX boxes didn't have accurate memfree either, after all. Hm. I've just added code to CVS to get accurate memfree for AIX >= 4.3.3, but not earlier, since it's much more work to deal with the different voodoo that apparently needs done for earlier versions. Of course, if AIX ganglia users need support for AIX < 4.3.3, I can rig in the works to deal with it...

What monitor does for 4.3.3 is to dlopen /unix, use dlsym to get the location of vmgetinfo in the kernel, and access it with a function pointer. -- Preston Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> UNIX Analyst Purdue University Physics Computer Network GPG Fingerprint: 6D27 5DAA F58D C42B 7A6B 8F48 04E4 2465 F353 03F6
