While using PyCharm I realized that the small warning it sends on high RAM consumption is really useful to prevent getting stuck on a PC the must be halted. That's why I've taken this opportunity to learn how to write scripts in bash by replicating the same behaviour with GNOME.\n\n\n## How to use\n\n### Give the script execution permission\n```bash\nchmod +x /script/path.sh\n```\n\n### Start systemd service\n```bash\nsudo systemctl start low-ram-check\n```\n\n### Autostart at boot\n```bash\nsudo systemctl enable low-ram-check\n```\n\n### Disable autostart at boot\n```bash\nsudo systemctl enable low-ram-check\n```\n\n## Compatibility\nThe script has been tested on Arch Linux using systemd and GNOME.\nTechnically it should be compatible with basically any `systemd` based installation with a DE that supports the `notify-send` command.\n\n## Contribute\nFeel free to make a pull request if you can improve my script! I'm not a bash expert but I'm always open to suggestions and improvements.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falbertocentonze%2Fram-alert","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Falbertocentonze%2Fram-alert","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falbertocentonze%2Fram-alert/lists"}
