Hi Tyson,

It's a long time i need such a script :-)
That's why i made some minor changes to the check_mem.pl 
script that you can find in nagiosplug contribs. 

I'll give my changes to nagiosplug project, but you will find it in
file-attachment so that you will have it immediately.

I fixed some minor bugs in Linux version, and added AIX support.

Note if you want to use it under AIX :
you *MUST* give execute rights to nagiosuser for the '/usr/sbin/bootinfo'
binary (needed to get total memory under AIX)

You can do it 2 different ways, choose your prefered one. Personally
and for security reasons, i prefer the second one.

1) you can chmod '/usr/sbin/bootinfo' to 555 
	OR
2) you can add nagiosuser to 'bin' group in '/etc/group' file

I hope it will help you and you will use it :-)

Chris
