[chef-dev] Re: ohai: ever needed to get memory info on mac os x?

Yeah I feel like I tried that route but ended up getting unreliable numbers (figures that didn't match what was coming from Activity Monitor.)

You're right that top is slow. I'll try it with your suggestion and see if I'm remembering correctly.

Although that works, I'd try to implement it using vm_stat instead. Top produces a lot of unnecessary output and it's a bit slow.

Looks like someone was able to grab some of the info you need from vm_stat:

Now you can!

I submitted this ticket a while back, with a fix provided, and I'm eager to get it merged into Ohai:

http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/OHAI-431

Can anyone see anything glaring that would prevent it from getting merged in?

Cheers,

Pat
