I have a script and I need to modify this so it can print the memory usage into the file with bytes.



#!/bin/bash    
echo "$HOSTNAME, timestamp=$( date +%s ), free -b" >> "system_monitor.csv"

          What your script should look like is this:



          #!/usr/bin/env bash

          echo -e "$HOSTNAME, $(date +%s), \n $(free -b)" >> "system_monitor.csv"


          The timestamp variable is unnecessary in this case. And I would suggest adding two news line or one to make the output readable. So a better command would be:



          #! /usr/bin/env bash

          echo -e "$HOSTNAME, $(date +%s), \n $(free -b) \n \n" >> "system_monitor.csv"
