shell command wrapper

Hi,

I have a properietary linux running on my server. System is
capable of running under low memory conditions.
I have a vi editor available on the system.

I want to create a shell script wrapper over the actual vi command. I
am planning to verify available memory
before launching vi editor. So when somebody types vi command on the
shell prompt, it should invoke my wrapper
then my wrapper would invoke the actual vi editor after verification.

Can somebody let me know what all things I have to change in the
system in order to make this setup work.

Thanks in advance,
Adil
