Memory Test on OS X (Darwin)
Good day Hobbits,
I installed the hobbit client on an OS X 10.4 server and found that memory was not being reported. I setup the bb-memory.sh script on the server and I get the following: Memory routine not defined for this operating system (Darwin). I thought this to be strange since the original bb-memory.sh supported BSD and OS X/Darwin was built on OpenBSD. Does anyone know of a fix or work around?

Even though Darwin has some roots in BSD, it is not a BSD kernel. And memory statistics is where OS's vary the most.
The Hobbit client does use Darwin's "vm_stat" command to collect some memory statistics, but I cannot remember exactly which. If you could provide an example output from this command, or any other commands that would be useful to estimate memory utilization, that would be helpful.

Henrik,
I can send the hobbitclient.log file. Is that sufficient?

No, the ~hobbit/client/msg.txt file is what I'm after. Or just the output from running the "vm_stat" command.

Henrik,
Here is vm_stat for this OS X server. Again thank you for the help.
