Sysdef command in Solaris 10.

Question

Hi All,
sysdef command in Solaris 10 ( 5.10, s10_58 ) no more reports the message queue related Kernel
parameters i.e msgsys:msginfo_msgmax ( MSGMAX ) etc. For more info refer the link below :
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-7137/6md5paukq?a=view
Since sysdef command no more reports the above parameters, what is the other way we can get the
same in Solaris 10? We have written our script in such a way that it greps for MSGMAX from the outcome
of sysdef and gets its value and perform certain operations. Quick reply would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

We have written our script in such
a way that it greps for MSGMAX from the outcome
of sysdef and gets its value and perform certain
operations. Quick reply would be greatly appreciated.msgmax (maximum per-message size) has been removed completely -- there is no equivalent on Solaris 10. Instead, the
maximum total bytes on the queue, process.max-msg-qbytes (previously msginfo_msgmnb) is the only restriction on what can be placed in a SysV message queue.
To retrieve the current value of this in a script, you can use:prctl -P -n process.max-msg-qbytes -t privileged $$ | tail -1 | read x x value x x xNote that this is no longer a system-wide tunable -- the administrator can control this on a per-project basis. (see projects(1))
