X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 18 Aug 2010 15:46:23 -0000 hello, I am looking for something on BSD that will give me the same info as free(1) in Linux. i.e. I would like to know the state of total/used/free memory and swap. I know there are a number of utilities in ports that will let me do this, I am however looking for something in the base system (if such a utility exists). I also know that top(1) gives this info, and I could certainly use that, I just wanted the nearest BSD sibling of free(1).) Thank you!
