Is there a way to free up memory in Solaris

963732Feb 1 2013 — edited Feb 2 2013
Hi,

I am wondering if there is a way to free up memory in Solaris manually ? the way we can do it in Linux for example :

[xml]echo `/bin/date` "************* Memory Info Before *************"
free -m
sync
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
echo `/bin/date` "************* Memory Info After *************"
free -m[xml]

Thanks.
Regards
Terry
