svmon requires root authority. If you'd bothered to read the man page or
the command reference you'd have seen that.
You could get round that by using sudo or something like that, but simply
adding a group isn't going to do it.
Any other tool giving you the same information will also require root
access, because it must use the same source of information.
Do you know what specific information you want and are actually going to
use? This level of detail is seldom of any use unless you're investigating
a particular problem. What you can get out of nmon should be sufficient for
general monitoring.

But I want to schedule the same in a script running through my user id on the AIX box. Svmon requires root permission to execute. Do u have any idea which group to be added in my group set to execute the command from my user id.

If you've got enough memory, paging space use will be very low: 5% is about right, allowing for the overheads of LVM and a small amount of paging space use after a boot. There are several tools which can give you a more detailed picture of how memory is being used. "svmon" is very comprehensive. Tools such as topas and nmon will also give you a bit more information. -- Simon Green Altria ITSC Europe s.a.r.l.

What does this mean? Please explain if any one has any idea about it. Is there anyway of monitoring actual memory utilisation without paging space.
