Hi everyone,

I'm testing some embedded linux devices that have a built in memory
usage alarm. I'm looking for a utility or script that will just consume
an amount of memory that I specify so I can test the accuracy of the
alarm.

Does anyone know of a tool that will do this?

Thanks,

John

Sysbasher will can do that,
