Lines: 14 Message-ID: <4ik50n$prf@hops.entertain.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: ppp014.abwam.com X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.92.5 I am running BSDi 2.0 with patches. I am interested in monitoring how swap space is being used on my system, so I am watching the system with tools like top and systat. Top is a nice tool, but what does the 'Real' and 'Virt' entries really mean? Systat is nice also, except that when I run systat -swap, I get an error which says 'swap: cannot find _nswap _nswdev'. :( This looks like the tool I'd like to use to watch how swap space is being used... Any suggestions of other tools appreciated, or advice on how to fix the systat problem!
