Displays current memory/swap usage. It does not count buffers or the page cache as 'used'.

Current platforms

Linux

Instances

single only

additional resources

none

Resource defaults

Resource defaults explicitly altered from the global defaults by this module:

Possible enhancements

Could (and should) be extended to use vmstat/iostat utilities on platforms other than Linux (eg, Solaris *BSD).
