We don't have such script but you can just take a look at the last column of /proc/user_beancounters. Nonzero values there mean that resource allocations were rejected.

=== Can you please elaborate the difference between oomguarpages and privvmpages?===
Thank you for everything, unfortunately the only way I have to help is to work with code,
+
Both seem to be showing mem + swap. Is the difference between two about allocated but not used pages? I mean, privvmpages show allocated (some of which might not be used) for mem + swap, whereas oomguarpages show allocated, all of which are used, mem + swap? ====
I leave something here that I hope you will enjoy and see it very usefull. And yes there
 
was not any script but now there is one. Greetings and have fun.</pre>

# Advantages or changes:
 
# 1) Calculation of vz containers.
 
# 2) Percentage Calculation.
 
# 3) Avoid simples wrong characters and out of range entry.
 
# 4) Use the same same order of vzlist output.
 
# 5) Problems on vzid param mistakes fixed.
 
# 6) Fixed when 0 passed by param an error appear
 
 
 
# The usage of this script is easy.
 
# To understand how it works first you must know
 
# the quantity of your containers so it is the
 
# first thing we do.
 
# Each container get a number if you have three
 
# containers e.g. eva gira huna
 
# Depending of the order ar shown in
 
# /proc/user_beancounters that number of position
 
# will be taken.
 
# If eva, gira and huna containers are shown in that
 
# order they will be 1 2 and 3 respectively.
 
# Is so simple like that, then if you want to see
 
# the status for gira container you must type in
 
# your shell:
 
# $> bash vmstatus.sh 2
 
# And you will see the status of this container.
 
 
 
# First thing to do is to get the list of containers

Yes, oomguarpages current value shows actual usage of MEM+SWAP.
