	The command you are looking for is "/usr/sbin/pstat -s".

Example "pstat -s" output:
Device      1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/wd0b       39816    11048    28768    28%    Interleaved

	"systat swap" will show a live update of swap usage.

	Or, the command "systat vmstat" will show live updates of other
type of information, or the "top" command available from many sites.

Example "top" output (only the line relevant to memory usage):
Memory: 16M Act 8304K Inact 4512K Wired 412K Free 28% Swap

Cheers,
Phil
