postgres itself doesn't track that level of OS specific stuff.

thats reading the /proc/.... stuff available on Linux systems via SQL, 
its the same stuff OS level tools like ps, top, free use... it won't 
work on non-Linux systems, even other Unix systems like BSD don't have 
the same /proc stuff, and other OS's like Windows don't have /proc at all.

if you don't know whether that's what you need, I'm not sure how we 
could know what you need.
