Measuring Free memory

2010-03-17 Thread Mario Lobo
Hi to all; I am trying to get the most precise reading I can of all free memory (8- STABLE). I am using /usr/bin/vmstat | grep -a 2 | awk '{print $5}' But I'm not sure if this reflects ALL free memory. Would anyone have a more precise place to read free memory from? Thanks -- Mario Lobo http
