RAM in a java program

Hi,
I want to know the Ramdom Access Memory of my computer in a java program.

If you are talking about disk size - or available disk size - then you have to call out of java
a) Using Runtime.getRuntime.exec() if you can figure out a useful commandline to get the data.
b) using JNI if you feel you have to write C code to get the info.

To check RAM size via java program

Hi,
Please let me know how to find the RAM size of a machine using java program.
Thanks & Regards,
Nasrin.N

Hi,
I've done that for disk space with JNative, take a look at http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=156421
I think it's easy to implement it for RAM.

How do you start a java program with more RAM alloaction

Hi
can anyone please tell me how to start a java program to start with lots of RAM (RAM size is sent as a parameter), I have seen it somewhere and now I cant remember it. I have a server application to run this way.
thanks and rgds

Java program consumes far more ram on linux than on windows - why ?

Hello dudes,
i encountered a problem and i dont know how to solve it. i've a java application that consists of several classes and 3 threads. it consumes about 7 mb on win2k but up tp 100 mb on SuSE Linux and shows up 13 threads.
is this something wrong with java or with linux? have any of you guys already faced the same problem and solved it ?
thanks for any replies.

Be careful. The Linux ps command by default shows the individual threads of a Java program as separate processes when they are in fact not. The fact you have 13 threads is normal, most are for housekeeping and appear on Windows as well.
I can't speak to the total memory utilization, but make sure you aren't adding up the memory of each of the 13 lightweight processes (threads) and counting the same memory usage 13 times.

}here i need to generate the strings like 'enter value1' and respective text boxes dynamically . i should use this java program as business logic and a jsp page for view.
following given is my text file input.eqn

input:enter value2:arg2
input:enter value3:arg3
constant:enter constant1:arg4
constant:enter constant2:arg5
equation:enter equation:(arg1+arg2)*(arg3+arg4)*arg5

Your program reads from a file on the disk and formats based on a patterm.
Jsp is not intended for such stuff.

Now , am not a very good Java DEv. and i need to find a soln. to this prob within 1 week.
The next step is to write the data to the DB.
Am sending an example of my file:
<Start>
<Machine>
<Hostname> IPCServer </Hostname>
<HostID> 80c04499 </HostID>
<MachineType> sun4u [ID 466748 kern.info] Sun Ultra 5/10 UPA/PCI (UltraSPARC-IIi 360MHz) </MachineType>
<CPU> UltraSPARC-IIi at 360 MHz </CPU>
<Memory> RAM : 512 MB </Memory>
<HostAdapter>
<HA> kern.info] </HA>
</HostAdapter>
<Harddisks>
<HD>
<HD1> c0t0d0 ctrl kern.info] target 0 lun 0 </HD1>
<HD2> ST38420A 8.2 GB </HD2>
</HD>
</Harddisks>
<GraphicCard> m64B : PCI PGX 8-bit +Accel. </GraphicCard>
<NetworkType> hme0 : Fast-Ethernet </NetworkType>
<EthernetAddress> 09:00:30:C1:34:90 </EthernetAddress>
<IPAddress> 149.51.23.140 </IPAddress>
</Machine>
</Start>
Note that i can have more than 1 machines (meaning that i have to loop thru the file to be able to write to the DB)
Cal u tellme what to do!
Even better- do u have a piece of code that will help me understand and implement the database writing portion?
I badly need help here.
THANX

Starting java program from a shortcut?

Each time I wan't to run a Java Application I need to do it from my IDE (eclipse).
Is it possible to just put a shortcut on the desktop and when double clicking it the program will run without opening eclipse?

This is a decent BAT creating BAT that i wrote.
it prompts for parameters
and then makes the Java run BAT automatically.
copy it into any text editor and then save it as ".bat" extension
change ProgramMain in the last "create batch" section to your
programs main class name. you can also easily look at this
bat and have it prompt the user for the main class name
and have it write it automatically.

I am developing a stand-alone java program. Lately,
whenever I debug or run the program it will shutdown
my computer. At first I thought it was the IDE
(Eclipse) I was using, so I switched to simple text
editor and command line compiles and runs.... it
still happened. Virus-infected files?
So my questions are:
1) If it is my program, what steps can I take to find
out why? (The crash always happens right when I
launch the program). Debug and watch whether it always happens at the same moment. But IMO it's unlikely because it's of your program.
2) Is it a memory issue? How can I find out?Could be in the sense of "defective RAM". Remove one bank. Try again. Set it back in and remove another bank. Try again.
3) Why would my computer crash when running a java
program? When I worked in C++, programs would crash
but not the computer. There was no time when my PC was booted more often than when I was writing C code in M$ VS6.

Ok, let's see. Write the following class:
public class Grunt {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello Mars");
}Save it as "C:\Grunt.java", compile by typing:
javac c:\Grunt.javaRun by typing:
java -classpath "C:\" GruntDoes it say "Hello Mars"? If yes, go back to your program and compare for differences (maybe you used the "package" statement?).

Running a java program a set number of times

This is a general question. Is it possible to make a java program run only 5 times for the sake of arguement.
Basically I want to write a program that will give the user some flexibility when it will actually run another Java program, but I only want them to be able to say "not now' for a set number of times. When the last time comes the other program will launch. I was initially thinking of the Do Whilw loop, but this needs to work when the program is restarted.
Program starts, it has 5 times it will run before it does something else(doesn't really matter now I think). User takes option "Not Now" and the program ends, but warns the user this will run 4 more times before you will need to do something.
This process will repeat until the user takes the option "Ok install now" or the time limit expires and the install occurs anyway. Can someone point me in the right direction.

ok I see so it's like one those programs that you download for free on the internet and they give you a set amount times to use it before you have to pay for it. but in this case when the number of times you use it equals 5 (or when the user clicks ok) a different java app will open automatically.
My first thought would be to Write a Serialized object to disk using objectOutputStream that stores the number of times the application has been opened. and each time the program runs it checks for the serialized object and then you can do something like what I posted before. of course if were worried about security the user could always look for the object and erase it, if so then I guess we would have to come up with another plan of attack
Hope this helps

Running a java program at "Start Up"

Besides running an html file with an applet in it. Are there any simple ways to launch a java program every time the computer is turned on.
I am not asking for specific directions, but rather just an idea, and i will go find my own guide.

Well two ideas (if ur on windows) u could try are -
one, if you had a class file you could simply create a
batch file on windows that says java <class> and then
put that batch file in your startup so that the class
is run at startup or else you could think of modifying
the registry keys on windows to run this class at
startup - whichever works for you.Or you could just jar the program up, adding a Main-Class indicator in the manifest, and then add a shortcut to the jar to the startup folder, as someone else stated. Theres little need to go messing around with DOS batch in modern windows.

Running a java program from an icon

I want to run my program from an icon on my desktop. I have a .bat file that I've built a shortcut to and it works.MY GUI program does display and run when I click on the icon. The problem is that the DOS window also shows up behind my GUI.
Is there anyway to prevent the DOS window from showing? Or is there another way to run a Java program without resorting to a DOS command line or running it through FORTE or another IDD?

Chris's solution worked well, with one small problem. Once my GUI starts, it takes up the whole screen. Normally when I run it, it appears as a small window.
not a big problem, I can reduce it easily after it starts. But does anyone know a way to make it come up in the reduced size it norally comes up in when I run it from my IDE?
