From: James Dinkel Date: 2008-04-01T23:49:29+09:00 Subject: linux: getting the "load" values without using "top" I would like to get some of the information provided by the "top" command into my ruby program, in particular the "load" values. The only way I can think of is to use popen3 to run "top -n 1" and parse the output, but I would like to not have to call an external command and do it using pure ruby. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
