[Voyage-linux] will my application fit?

[Jeff Ramin]

Hi folks.

I'm trying to determine if an Alix board, running voyage, has enough memory
to run an application. I've got it running on the board, but I'm having a
hard time determining how much memory is unused.

My usual tool (the free command) show me how much ram is unused, but some of
that memory is being used by tmpfs file systems (such as /lib/init/rw), as
well as for file caching. From what I've read, that memory could be used for
applications, if needed.

Is there some command that indicates how much memory is potentially
available to a running application?

Thanks!
