Description
This version is an update of Matt's RAM Meter, which fixes issues with Maverick and Yosemite. The update also increases customizability.
Set-up
Change the first line to match your system's total RAM in Megabytes. For example:
totalRAM=16000
means you have 16GB of RAM.
Customize
You can change the number of ticks and tick character in the second and third line. For example:
ticks=20
tickchar="•"
means your meter will have 20 dots in total. (Refer to screenshot).
By default, the border color is set to red (31). To change the color, find the following line:
#Border tick
echo "\033[1;31m$tickchar\033[0m\c"
and change the 31 to another number. To change the color of the unused memory ticks, find a similar line and change the 30 to another number.
For Coders
The used RAM in megabytes is defined as:
usedRAM=`top -l 1 | awk '/PhysMem/ {print $2}' | sed s/M// `
