that can be used for system monitoring

the only library I can find so far is Sigar: https://github.com/hyperic/sigar

pros: it seems to be pretty widely used, Apache license, should do what we need cons: there are no C API docs

I didn't find any other library either... Just so there's as much info as possible, what functionality should the module offer?

I'm thinking that if Qorus should support load-balancing and also potentially a multi-process model, then we should be able to know:

how many cores do we have and what is their load over time
how much memory do we have
how much memory is each of our processes using (ex: kill an external process belonging to us if it exceeds some maximum threshold - raise warnings for soft thresholds, etc)
also maybe network bandwidth available - in use etc
