OS: Solaris 8

I need to periodically monitor my host memory usage (not single
process memory usage) using a script like this:

while true;
do
echo $(date) >> $OUTPUT_FILE # to get system time
<command_to_get_memory_info> | grep <some useful string>
sleep 30
done

Any suggestions on <command_to_get_memory_info> | grep <some useful
string>?
Thank you.

You can use top -d1 and grep for Memory ...

vmstat.

Also look at swap and prstat (which is a bit like top).
