Yeah... you need native code for that. Google for a JNI or preferably a JNA solution to this problem.

May I ask why? It goes against the entire ethos of Java, which is to be platform-independent.

Thank You "Stephan van Hulst" & "Winston Gutkowski"
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
