=============
Oct. 31, 2014 What's new in version 0.93
- the path for binary executables is no more hard coded, which makes the script capable to run on virtually any Linux or UNIX system, without the need to edit it.
- the path for binary executables (grep, sed, ifconfig) can be overwritten in the parameters section, at the beginning of the script
- introduced a new function for bringing the size strings to humanly readable format (ex.: 1024 bytes=>1KB)
