Re: st: sysinfo in batch mode

[Sergiy Radyakin <serjradyakin@gmail.com>]

that's because sysinfo is not a valid command
valid command is systeminfo
note also, that it produces much of the sensitive info that the admin
of the remote system may not be very happy to share with all the
users, so check if concerned.
If you are thinking about something like:

getwinmemsize x
set mem `x'mb

then forget about it.
In Stata 12 the memory manager will do it's best to automatically
allocate memory as needed.
In earlier versions you can have
set mem `x'mb
set mem `x'mb
with first statement working and second failing.
The information may become too old to be usable between your query and
you using it's result.
The only legitimate way to do this in the earlier versions of Stata is
to try to claim memory and analyze the result.

Best, Sergiy
