How to find out which processes are using more memory:
gz-hp-ux:/# top -f top.out -n 10000 -d 1
gz-hp-ux:/# sort -n -k7,7 top.out
gz-hp-ux:/# sort -n -k7,7 top.out | awk '{if ($7~/M$/) {print $0}}'
Sar command is also very powerful and you can find it in hp-ux. For example, wit
h the options below, you can list a report activity for each lunpath:

Report activity for each active lunpath:

gz-hp-ux:/# sar -L 2 2

And, of course, you can tune some parameters with kctune command. This is the ad
ministrative command for HP-UX kernel tunable parameters. Find below some exampl
es:
To see all tunables and their current values:
gz-hp-ux:/# kctune

To see which tunables have new values being held until next boot:
gz-hp-ux:/# kctune -D
To To see the tunables with only non default value
gz-hp-ux:/# kctune -S
To see verbose information about a tunable:
gz-hp-ux:/# kctune -v tunablename
To set a tunable value on the running system:
gz-hp-ux:/# kctune tunable=69
To set a tunable value to be used when the system reboots:
gz-hp-ux:/# kctune -h tunable=69
To increase a tunable's value by 99:
gz-hp-ux:/# kctune tunable+=99
