Matt J.
Is there a "how big is my ruby process" method?
Matt J.
isnt /proc/self/status magical
Tammer S.
That would make sense.
Matt J.
Yeah, I think that gives you current process info
Tammer S.
as long as you don’t drop down to ‘cat’ to read it :)
Matt J.
right
Matt J.
then I’d have a bunch of info about cats
Matt J.
which is nice I guess
Matt J.
but not useful
Tammer S.
cuddly, though.
Tammer S.
You can say "Awwww! Look how small those cats are!"
Matt J.
They should add a ‘Lives: 9’ line to the status file in procfs if you call it with cat
