memory counter tool?

[axl]

hi folks.

i was just wondering. this must be something so trivial that is perhaps it's a stupid question.

there's all sorts of counters in /proc to figure out how many cycles of cpu were spent where and when, disk stats and mem stats and all sorts of stats.

it there any memory counter? how much ram was used since boot. how many times was it read. maybe which sectors(?). how many times had it been written.

i imagine it would be a memory stick stat. does it exist for ram?

again, not for how much you are using at any given time, but a counter which show how much you read or written since the boot. is that even possible?

not only that but... to monitor resource utilisation from within takes ... resources.
