You could write a script that uses
/bin/lparstat -i
and then grep on the online memory line, i.e
Online Memory : 8192 MB

Subject: [hobbit] actual memory reporting on AIX
Is there anyway to report actual memory on AIX 5.3 clients? The thing is that the old BigBrother client reported actual memory and I have users that don't what to switch to the Hobbit client because of that. I would really like to get those old BB clients off of the system, too.
Thanks,
Larry Barber
