This task is OS-specific. Either:

* A JNI routine is available that makes the relevant OS call
to obtain this data. The relevant library would, of course,
need to already be installed

or:

* The relevant OS command-line utility could be called
through 'Runtime.exec'

The latter option may be worth exploring. Talk to your system administrator
and ask about any such utilities.

I hope this helps.
