Monitor Memory - Linux

One of the best ways to monitor the memory on the Linux-based system is to run 'cat /proc/meminfo' command.

You should sum these counters : 'MemFree' + 'Buffers' + 'Cached' and compare the result with counter 'MemTotal'

Note, that memory on Linux-based system is very dynamic - it is allocated and freed all the time.
