CRAN issue:

[csgillespie]

If the runjags message

'Xgrid is not available on this machine. Xgrid functions are only available on machines running Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or OS X 10.7 (Lion) and with access to an Xgrid controller'

is accurate (and it seems so) this is ancient history and the non-functionality should be removed.

Please correct before 2021-02-23 to safely retain your package on CRAN.

Package benchmarkme has not done as you were asked, to look for sysctl (not just check if it is on the path).

As a result,

Name: get_cpu

Title: CPU Description

Aliases: get_cpu

** Examples

Return the machine CPU

get_cpu() $vendor_id [1] NA

$model_name [1] NA

$no_of_cores [1] 8

Name: get_ram

Title: Get the amount of RAM

Aliases: get_ram

** Examples

Return (and pretty print) the amount of RAM

get_ram() Unable to detect your RAM. # nocov Please raise an issue at https://github.com/csgillespie/benchmarkme NA B

Display using iec units

print(get_ram(), unit_system = "iec") Unable to detect your RAM. # nocov Please raise an issue at https://github.com/csgillespie/benchmarkme NA B

Name: get_sys_details

Title: General system information

Aliases: get_sys_details

** Examples

Returns all details about your machine

get_sys_details() Unable to detect your RAM. # nocov Please raise an issue at https://github.com/csgillespie/benchmarkme

and if also fails (in an ugly way) if sysctl is on the path:

example(get_cpu)

get_cp> ## Return the machine CPU get_cp> get_cpu() sysctl: unknown oid 'machdep.cpu.vendor' $vendor_id character(0) attr(,"status") [1] 1

$model_name [1] "Apple M1"

$no_of_cores [1] 8

Warning message: In system(paste(sysctl, "-n machdep.cpu.vendor"), intern = TRUE) : running command '/usr/sbin/sysctl -n machdep.cpu.vendor' had status 1
