For newbies to openvz it is fairly difficult to understand the meaning of the numbers in /proc/user_beancounters file. Calculating the values to something understandable for human brain everytime you look at these statistics is much work. I have written a perl script which reformats the output to human-readable values in kbyte and mbyte.

Just be sure you have Perl installed on your HN/VE, copy this script to somewhere on your machine, give it executable rights and start it. The output will be like this:
