@NerdyDad Other than whatever comes by default, the only module I've imported was the one for Windows updates (which I need to do again, so it persists).

Free with PS...
PowerShell Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. PS /srv/salt> free -h total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 7.1G 3.6G 820M 511M 2.6G 2.6G Swap: 7.2G 264K 7.2GThis looks like it is running in PowerShell on Linux.
Yeah. He didn't say anything about windows, only PowerShell. And PS launches the free utility just great.

@scottalanmiller Always associated PowerShell as the CLI for Windows. I ought to have been more specific.

It's also that you said why doesn't PS have free, not why doesn't Windows have free. Free is an application, not part of any shell. It's not part of BASH or PS, it's just an application that either can call equally.
-
If free was installed on Windows, PowerShell would have it the same as BASH or ZSH or whatever do on Linux. If you push BASH on Windows, it would lack the free command as well.

A vendor made it all the way down to us to meet with our managers because he used the buzzword "cyber security" and cityhall thought we should listen to what he had to say. He was a shitty salesguy that couldn't answer basic questions.

Straight PowerShell there if you're interested. Probably another 10k easier ways to do it, but this works.
#Free $freemem=get-wmiobject -class Win32_OperatingSystem $objFree=[pscustomobject]@{ totalMemory="$([math]::round($freemem.TotalVisibleMemorySize/1024,2)) MB" usedMemory = "$([math]::round(($freemem.TotalVisibleMemorySize - $freemem.FreePhysicalMemory)/1024,2)) MB" freeMemory="$([math]::round($freemem.FreePhysicalMemory/1024,2)) MB" #freeVirtMem ="$([math]::round($freemem.freevirtualmemory/1024,2)) MB" totalSwap = "$([math]::round($freemem.SizeStoredInPagingFiles/1024,2)) MB" usedSwap = "$([math]::round(($freemem.SizeStoredInPagingFiles - $freemem.FreeSpaceInPagingFiles)/1024,2)) MB" freeSwap = "$([math]::round($freemem.FreeSpaceInPagingFiles/1024,2)) MB" } $objFree|ft -autoOutputs a table like so:

FYI, this is not a knock on his company (or really, his company's contracting company) - it's on the city who has chosen to outsource their IT to the company that hired Wire's company. But if you are outsourcing all this stuff, why are you talking to ANYONE besides your outsource provider?

Because they have loads of outsourcers, probably.
