From df189de31d33f40b894c33482dbdf9f61eaf1177 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] Fixing for new free output.
The output of free doesn't anymore contain the "buffers/cache"
line breaking the check_memory plugin. The attached patch uses
instead the new "available" column to calculate the free memory
as it seems to be a better estimation of free (usable) memory.
