For some globus GRIS scripts, I'm using the sysctls vm.stats.vm.v_page_size and vm.stats.vm.v_page_count to get memory size. I'm calculating free memory (a bogus concept in FreeBSD) as total-active-inactive-wired, all of which are available under vm.stats.vm. Swap information is available from the swapinfo command. If you really need it in an API you could just steal the code. The number of cpus is easy as it's just the hw.ncpu sysctl. Other information is currently difficult to obtain and I'm currently parsing the output of the cpuid port to obtain a fair bit of it. The only source of Mhz is /var/run/dmesg.boot. > Also, I want to get the information about the load, > and also process information. Load is available from the sysctl vm.loadavg. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE. PGP fingerprint 655D 519C 26A7 82E7 2529 9BF0 5D8E 8BE9 F238 1AD4
