display cpu & mem usage

Hi,
does anybody know a tool which displays (non graphical) the cpu usage in % and free memory/swap? (I know I just could parse sysctl vm.vmtotal for the mem part).

I only found some graphical tools, but I want to put the output in dzen2.

Thanks a lot

Conky without X support should do it. conky-awesome is the port you should install and it is in /usr/ports/sysutils/conky-awesome. hope that helps.

There's also sysutils/htop, an enhanced version of top().

The version of top that is integrated with FreeBSD contains quite a few changes/enhancements, many of which are specific to the FreeBSD OS.

While a vanilla top/htop will run, using the FreeBSD flavor of top from base if preferred.

I do wonder how this exactly relates to Window Managers ... :q
 
It doesn't, and the OP has already found his true love in conky.
 
Yeah, conky rocks:
