Greetings,

What is the best/easiest way on FreeBSD 5.1 to show the total and free 
amount of memory (at any given moment in time)?

I am setting up MRTG and at the moment I am parsing /var/run/dmesg.boot 
and the output from `top -b -d 1` to get total and free memory 
respectively, but I hope there is an easier way.
