    Guys,

     

    I'm writing a series of scripts for deploying in our support center. One that I'm working on involves /proc/kcore, the physical RAM of a linux system. I'm trying to display the amount of physical RAM in a system by returning the size of this file divided by 1024.

     

    I'd like it to eventually say: PHYSICAL RAM: 512MB.

     

    Here's what I've tried, and the results:

     

    Code:
    $ echo "System RAM";ls -l /proc/kcoreSystem RAM-r--------    1 root     root     958595072 Feb 14 13:13 /proc/kcore$ $ ls -l /proc/kcore | 'expr $5/1024'/bin/ksh: expr $5/1024: not found$ ls -l /proc/kcore | echo $5$ ls -l /proc/kcore | echo $1$ ls -l /proc/kcore > echo $5/bin/ksh: cannot create echo: No such file or directory$ ls -l /proc/kcore | awk "print int($5/1024)"awk: cmd. line:1: print int(/1024)awk: cmd. line:1: ^ parse errorawk: cmd. line:1: print int(/1024)awk: cmd. line:1:            ^ unterminated regexpawk: cmd. line:2: print int(/1024)awk: cmd. line:2:                 ^ unexpected newline$ ls -l /proc/kcore | awk {print int($5/1024)}/bin/ksh: syntax error: `(' unexpected$ ls -l /proc/kcore | awk `BEGIN {print int($5/1024)}'> > ^C$ $ ls -l /proc/kcore | awk `{print int($5/1024)}`/bin/ksh: syntax error: `(' unexpected$ ls -l /proc/kcore | awk -F `{print int($5/1024)}'> > ^C$ ls -l /proc/kcore | awk -F `{print int($5/1024)}'> ^C$ awk '{ print int($5/1024) }` < ls -l /proc/kcore> ^C$ ls -l /proc/kcore > temp; awk '{ print int($5/1024) }` temp> ^C

     

    As you can see, I'm stuck on awk. Can anyone shed some light on this?

     

    I basically want to take the 5th field of an ls and display the result of that field divided by 1024.

     

    Anyone?

     

    TIA!

    Whoa, I've never seen this before in such a modern os:

     

    [root@localhost opt]# mount /mnt/winNTFSmed

    mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernel

     

    here's fstab:

     

    LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1

    LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2

    none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0

    none /proc proc defaults 0 0

    none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

    /dev/hda9 swap swap defaults 0 0

    /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

    /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

    /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

    /dev/hda1 /mnt/winNTFS ntfs defaults 0 0

    /dev/hda2 /mnt/winNTFS2 ntfs defaults 0 0

    /dev/hda3 /mnt/winNTFS3 ntfs defaults 0 0

    /dev/hdb1 /mnt/winNTFSmed ntfs defaults 0 0

     

    am I doing something wrong? All my windows partitions are NTFS!!?!!

     

    Help!
