In reply to Navin Talati. @Navin, You can absolutely use it on a regular Ubuntu 24.04 LTS desktop as well. The commands in the script work the same on both desktop and server versions of Ubuntu, as long as the required tools (like `top`, `df`, `free`, etc.) are installed — which they usually are by default. So yes, you can use the same script and set up the cron job on your installed Ubuntu 24.04 system.

This is only for server?
Is it applicable for installed OS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS?
All the commands remain the same?

Ignore my previous comment, the problem was that free normally puts a tab in front of total and the numbers are then correct.

I really appreciate this and have implemented on my personal server.

The swap memory output seems to disagree with top on my ubuntu system, with free and used switched.
