Hello,

Since /proc/meminfo has changed in linux 2.6, the os_mon application do
not work anymore. The following patch fix the parsing of /proc/meminfo
on a linux 2.6 kernel


Btw, the fonction gives the memory used on a linux system, but since
linux is using all the available memory for caching (and buffering), the
free memory reported by this function is meaningless. Maybe we should
subtract the cache size to the MemUsed value ?
