@Adam here's a simple trick: if you find yourself about to post a third line of text and nobody has answered, it is probably best not to post it.
What if I post them in a single message all at once though? Ha! Also my script in init.d won't autostart with update-rc.d myscript defaults. Also can we finally get SE to make multiline markdown available in chat? Also good morning I'm just here for a moment while my girlfriend dresses. Anyone here? Haven't got a response yet. Oh right I haven't actually sent yet.
I've drafted a fix for the "free" command, if any fellow [memory] users want to give me the benefit of their comments. github.com/sourcejedi/procps/commit/…
Oops, should have been a 2-line diff instead of a 3-line diff. The updated commit (and any future update) can be seen using the url github.com/sourcejedi/procps/commit/master
