Getting free memory
 
I need to monitor the 'free' server statistics and tried to sen myself an email every hour with a cron job like this:
*/60 * * * * cat free | mail -s "DO Server Free" me@mtisp.net

The email cam in without the 'free' statistics attached. Apparently I need to get the data into a file first. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks.

Is this what you are looking for?

*/60 * * * * /usr/bin/free | mail -s "DO Server Free" me@mtisp.net
