Hi Chad,
good try, but there is unfortunately no parameter related to memory.
sysctl -a displays all of the parameters and their current settings,
nothing amongst them which looks like it's of help here.
Thanks for the help, I guess, I have to see if I can talk to somebody
@ Apple or one of the darwin developer's groups.
Best regards,
Chris
