Hi

I want to know free ram available and i am using this method:

Execute Command: cat /proc/meminfo
Script: mem=split(stdout, "kB");memfree=getElement(mem, 1);memcached=getElement(mem, 3);memfree=substring(memfree, indexOf(memfree, ":")+1, length(memfree));memcached=substring(memcached, indexOf(memcached, ":")+1, length(memcached));global_free_ram="{(memfree+memcached)/1024,numberformat,0}";



But i find that this is inaccurate method and it dont show accurate result and it also hangs sometime.
So please can anyone suggest an alternative.

Hi,

If the flow hangs in the Execute Command, you could switch to an action Init Variable Text File: /proc/meminfo since it does not fork a new process and requires less resources.
I'm not aware of a method that's more accurate to read memory information. You could try Execute Command: free as an alternative way to read some memory information.
