|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|
