Can I identify my RAM without shutting down linux?

I’d like to price some new RAM for our in-house VMware testing server. (It’s a consumer box we use for testing our software on and running business VMs). I’ve forgotten what kind of RAM it has and I’d rather not reboot the machine and fire up memtest86+ just to get the specs of the RAM. Is there any way I can know what kind of RAM to buy without shutting down linux and kicking everyone off? E.G. is the information somewhere in /proc?

systemd – umount device after service which depends on it finishes

I’m trying to implement a mechanism of automated backup using udev rules and systemd. The idea is to launch a backup routine upon hot-plugging a specific storage device, quite similar to this question, for which I provided an answer myself by the way, but here I’m interesteded in discussing some further tweaks. Namely I want the device to be umounted after the backup service finishes.

Regular expression problem(s) in Bash: [^negate] doesn’t seem to work

When I execute ls /directory | grep '[^term]' in Bash I get a regular listing, as if the grep command is ignored somehow. I tried the same thing with egrep, I tried to use it with double and single quotes, but to no better results. When I try ls /directory | grep '^[term] I get all entries beginning with term – as expected.
