Hey Tony, to get it to work, instead of an alias do this in the Terminal (newline = enter & assumes you know vim/nano):

sudo touch /usr/local/sbin/mem
sudo [vim or nano] /usr/local/sbin/mem

Then put this in:

#!/bin/sh
top -l 1 | awk ‘/PhysMem/ {print “Used: ” $8 “\nFree: ” $10}’

And save & exit. Now do:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/mem

Done! Now you can test with with just typing “men” and you’ll get something like this:

Used: 2805M
Free: 5380M

Enjoy!

What the heck is the “two finger scroll up”? Scrolling up with two fingers is just… scrolling. Doesn’t do anything else.

Hi, Is there a terminal command that can stop Software Update from deleting the packages once they are installed… I want to save them so that I only download them once, to save them for a OS reinstall/backup and to install on another computer.

AND @Eldon, if you reset the factory default settings on your printer, it might suddenly become obvious to your mac… (from experience).

Well, you can drag the downloads folder to your dock, then right click on the folder and choose Sort by Date Created, and View Content as List. Then you don’t have to navigate to the folder each time, when you click on the folder, the list just pops up.
