I am using bb-memory to get memory data for each of my hosts and I am seeing
an odd result. This is from a system with   16 gig of memory installed:


  Memory	Used    Total	Percentage
 Physical	682M	784M	86%
 Actual	66M	784M	8%
 Swap		0M	2047M	0%


The host is running linux....any ideas why I see this reading?


Thanks 

Kevin

I would run it like this 
export BBHOME=/path/to/bb
. /path/to/bbdef.sh sh -x /path/to/bb-memory.sh 
to debug

bb-memory isn't exactly rocket science ... on Linux, it basically
takes the output from "free -m" and reports those data. So check that
your "free" command reports the correct data - if not, get that fixed.
