[Request] - CLOSE ALL TASKS for N900
i have noticed sometimes it becomes very difficult to work with N900 even when 5 or 6 applications are working in Parallel... N900 almost freezes sometimes but never Hangs... :)
at that time "End Current Task" in Power Button Menu comes handy but it only ends one task at a time plus i dont know if it ends it smoothly or not(i mean in case microB is downloading a file.. does it stops microb from writing it to disc & then ends it).. also it feels that N900 ram doesn't gets free after we end all the tasks manually... in windows i used a few commands to clean clipbord after all my multimedia work to Refresh RAM & get a faster PC... my request is... is it possible to add a "CLOSE ALL TASKS" command next to "End Current Task" in Power Button Menu... which also Doubles as "Refresh Ram" when all the tasks are Closed... :) it would be a really helpful addition to N900 performance i hope someone might make it possible... :) regards immi.shk |
Re: [Request] - CLOSE ALL TASKS for N900
i would make a slight improvement to the suggestion:
1. something that takes a snapshot of all the running tasks (only tasks that show up in the task manager) that the user launched. 2. then user selects something called a) flush tasks - this removes everything running that is *not* in the snapshot. b) end all - this removes everything running. as for refreshing ram, there are better strategies to do this. i suggest we leave this out and put this as a separate script that runs at a scheduled time (say 4am??). just some suggestions :) |

Get tasks started by user:
Code:
ps ux Code:
kill PID Kill task: Code:
kill -9 PID Code:
sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches |

Plus leave the RAM management to the kernel. He knows it better than you. |
