Working With Rails

if you’re running a UNIX system, you can try this for a pretty basic output:

system(‘df -h’)

Thanks but my application will run on a windows platform…

Any idea how can I do this?

Ok, I have the solution for windows environment.

Here it goes:

require ‘win32ole’
...

wmi = WIN32OLE.connect(“winmgmts://./root/cimv2”)
drive = @targetdir[0..1]
disk = wmi.ExecQuery(“Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk”)
disk.each do |d| freebytes = d.FreeSpace puts ”-> ” + freebytes.to_s
end
