I've been running this script from cron for almost a decade:
- http://bristle.com/Tips/Unix/memlow

Checks free memory, logs it, and if below a min value, emails
me an alert.  Keeps summary and detailed logs.  If I get an
email, I can check the logs for a slow leak vs a sudden drop.

I'm not even sure anymore where it came from.  I've written
several hundred such utility scripts.  See:
- http://bristle.com/Tips/Unix
- http://bristle.com/Tips/Mac
- http://bristle.com/Tips/Mac/Unix

But this seems different from my usual style.  I may have gotten
it from team member Chris Hunter who was taking over the
sysadmin tasks for me on our project.  Or maybe one of us
just copied it from StackOverflow, or something.

Chris, do you remember?  1st version pushed to Git 2/16/2011.

Enjoy!
