public interface OperatingSystemMXBean extends PlatformManagedObject
The management interface for the operating system on which the Java virtual machine is running.

A Java virtual machine has a single instance of the implementation class of this interface. This instance implementing this interface is an MXBean that can be obtained by calling the ManagementFactory.getOperatingSystemMXBean() method or from the platform MBeanServer method.

The ObjectName for uniquely identifying the MXBean for the operating system within an MBeanServer is:

java.lang:type=OperatingSystem
It can be obtained by calling the PlatformManagedObject.getObjectName() method.

This interface defines several convenient methods for accessing system properties about the operating system on which the Java virtual machine is running.
