[xymon] Xymon reports excessive memory usage on 1 SLES 11 host

[Ralph Mitchell]

That looks like output from the 'free' command.  Try going to the server and
entering

     free

and see what it says.  Xymon doesn't alter the output at all, it just passes
on whatever comes out.  Here's the relevant part of xymonclient-linux.sh,
with context:

     echo "[mount]"
     mount
     echo "[free]"
     free
     echo "[ifconfig]"
     /sbin/ifconfig
