How much RAM is being used?
 
Hi.

Is there anyway of checking how much RAM is being used / remains free as a code is being run?

Thanks

Would have thought 'top' would do it??

more /proc/meminfo (to see it in real time)

In a script, you can read /proc/meminfo and perhaps filter out just the parts you need.

Thanks for that.

Had a look too!
 
Wow! Had no idea my RAM did so many things? The fact that I don't understand 95% of it is absolutely irrelevant. At least I found out I've only got 84kb of "Dirty" memory. I'll get the pan scrubber on it next time I take my machine apart!

Many thanks! :-)
