Script to print the RAM size

Here is a script that prints the RAM size of a system using the information from /proc/cpuinfo . I couldn't come across a command that gives only the ram size info in a user friendly way, hence wrote this to make it easier to view only the RAM size.

ramsize.sh: #!/bin/bash # This is a script to print the size of the RAM using the # /proc/meminfo data. Ram=$(cat /proc/meminfo | awk 'BEGIN {FS = ":"} /MemTotal/ {print $2}') type=$(echo $Ram | grep -o [a-z][A-Z]) size=$(echo $Ram | grep -o [0-9]*) if [ $type == "kB" ] then size=$((size/1000)) fi echo "The RAM size is $size MB" Save the script as ramsize.sh,give it execute permission using chmod and execute the script as follows. chmod 777 ramsize.sh ./ramsize.sh The RAM size is 256 MB

It gives the output in MB.
