The muse port will give you a more readable version of the memory information than vmstat. If you're running X, I recommend gkrellm, also in the ports tree, which gives you a quick visual of that information. Anyway, given pstat and muse, a simple alias will do close to what you describe: guru$ alias free="muse -k | sed -e '/^$/d' -e 's/: */ /' -e 's/ kB//' | rs -T; pstat -s | sed /dev/d" guru$ free Active Inactive Wired Reserved Cache Buffer Total Free 57748 46376 34872 1552 1012 35808 254556 114548 Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type Total 1179392 21372 1158020 2% Further tailoring of the output is left as an exercise for the reader. A python script could even handle the -m (which I assume means report in megabytes) and similar flags. The ports tree is sort of like rpmfind.net, only it's on your disk. Because the ports system allows the distribution of the build instructions for applications as well as the index information, the nearly 6000 ports can be distributed in about 91m. Look through the docs on it on the FreeBSD web site; you'll be glad you did. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
