Pulling measurements of system memory?

[David Thakur]

Take a look at rrdtool: http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/
It does graphs of system statistics. If you need to get just the variables,
check the shell scripts from this package http://www.ag0ny.com/graphs/
I use this on FreeBSD to generate graphs for my server.

Regards,
David
