If the host has exactly 5000, this will result in failure.

Also I don't like the separation of the two values for $ram_mb.  The
manifest constant at the top of the script is misleading given that
the code might override it.  I think you probably want to bury the
magic constant(s) in with the setting code.

Thanks,
Ian.
