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

First, you'll need a precise definition of what you mean by free memory.

It is listed in the current ports tree, and so presumably does work
