You could read the file /proc/meminfo to get some memory stats (action Init Variable Text File: /proc/meminfo) and use a script to extract the relevant part until a built-in action becomes available.

After issuing three command Martin suggests, this code will calculate the free ram.


mem=split(stdout, "kB");
memfree=getElement(mem, 1);
memcached=getElement(mem, 3);
memfree=substring(memfree, indexOf(memfree, ":")+1, length(memfree));
memcached=substring(memcached, indexOf(memcached, ":")+1, length(memcached));
global_totalfree="{(memfree+memcached)/1024,numberformat,0}";
