I am setting up MRTG and at the moment I am parsing /var/run/dmesg.boot and the output from `top -b -d 1` to get total and free memory respectively, but I hope there is an easier way.
Try "vmstat" instead.
Thought of that. According to the man page, vmstat shows, for memory:
avm active virtual pages fre size of the free list
Does the size of the free list correspond to actual free memory? I wasn't sure whether that was the case or not.
Also, it's a case of parsing the output from top or parsing the output from vmstat - I had hoped there would be a simple command that would show memory state :)
