Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
According to the documentation, the used memory can only be shown in GiB. I would like to be able to see it in MiB, because GiB is too coarse for me.

Hey, yeah I do plan to add that when I look at the other sys info issues. Because it's similar enough to #149 I'll close this as duplicate and update that to reflect units in general.

Ok thank you! If someone wants this functionality in the meantime, i solved it like this:

type = "script"
cmd = "echo $(free -m | grep Mem | awk '{print $3}')M"    
mode = "poll"
interval = 2000
