We have the same issue we cannot use the built in stuff to do that because of 
how memory is being utilized. We use a program called /usr/bin/free which 
breaks down the memory. The free program is not something we wrote it may be on 
the machine already I am not sure but that is how we do it.

[myserver]$ free
                        total       used           free       shared  buffers   
  cached
Mem:       1927768    1542388     385380          0     340956     654056
-/+ buffers/cache:     547376    1380392
Swap:      2097144         84    2097060

We had to write our own program to watch the memory and just send a trap when 
it hit a threshold.
