Sorry, there's no trigger for low memory ATM.

You'd need to get all geeky running shell commands to
query memory usage.

And you need a rooted device to reboot.

mmm....thought that might be the case ATM...does that intimate that it
might be concidered for the next upgrade..hint hint lol

I'm only just getting the hang of basic variables in tasker, I've no
hope of shell commards lol

Also is %MARTIST likely to get added? (music artist to go with music
track)

Thanks

Every time I fiddle with %MTRACK I think 'hmm, shouldn't you be adding
%MARTIST as well' :-)

I put it on the todo list.

Don't know if it helps but I have a profile that triggers when the
screen goes off.
it splits the builtin variable %MEMF at the letter M, then it tests
%MEMF1 to see if it xs below some threshold. if it is, it reboots.
seems to work ok and doesn't interrupt me because of the screen off
test.

I completely forgot about %MEMF, thanks.

Second time that happened to me recently.

Can you give more info on how this profile works? I am a novice at this.

While we're on the topic, could you please also consider adding
%MALBUM (and possibly also %MTRACKNUMBER and %MFILEPATH ) to the todo
list?
This would open up lots of possibilities for music based tasks.
Thanks!

Problem is that track and artist are always broadcast but not always
other info. I'll keep it in mind when
I look at artist.

Here's the profile. It uses the fastreboot app rather than doing a
full reboot, as it is quicker and less disruptive.

Profile: Low Memory (75)
Priority: 5 CoolDown: 3600
Event: Display Off
Enter: Anon (76)
A1: Variable Split [ Name:%MEMF Splitter:M Delete Base:Off ]
A2: If [ %MEMF1 < 50 ]
A3: Load App [ App:Fast Reboot Data: Exclude From Recent Apps:On
Continue Task After Error:On ]
A4: End If
