Hello,

Is anyone aware of a shell command that tells you the size of physical
memory used in your computer?
Any help is appreciated.
So long,

Mehran

There are a number of possibilities.
Most likely you are looking for:

cat /proc/meminfo

which tells you what the machine itself was told about mem.
You can also use:

top

which amongst other things also gives you the mem info.
