Regards.

Depends on current swap usage. Swapoff tries to shift swap contents to RAM, so whenever RAM gets overfilled by that, strange things might happen... I wouldn't generally recommend that.

My most frequent issue is with hildon-desktop, over time it slowly ramps up its CPU usage and becomes a battery-killer. I haven't been able to determine the exact cause (widget?) yet.

In my tests, the command above has a positive effect in such cases, but doesn't completely correct the problem. On a hunch I tried the exact same idea, but with hildon-desktop instead of hildon-home, and up to now it has proved very effective...

Code:
tr -d '\r' < DOS_file > UNIX_file
sed 's/^M//' DOS_file > UNIX_file

Thanks a bunch! Instead of converting the script file on the device I used online dos2unix converter and transferred the file again onto the device - the script worked then

Thanks again!

This days another device give me the same problem when I try the script, and the solution was simpler, only open another file with Leafpad and paste all the script. Simpler

sudo sh OptimizeN900

And you can setup this to run every day overnight. Please, try it and tell us your experiences. Thanks!

Thank you Sir

Will it help somebody, if I'll create package in extras-devel?
Basically it will put shell script into /opt/usr/bin/ and create icon for it.

If so please suggest name for the package and icon in this poll:

i'd like to make this into a Queen Beecon widget, however i can't get it to work.

If i start the widget and go to advanced, i testdrive the command (your file) and it works perfectly. However if i try to import "buffer to beecon"

i get this error:

Code:

(0x3eb7e8) QBW Import from ADB command buffer error g_key_file_load_from_data

anybody have a clue?

Ciao,
Please post complete text you are trying to import and exact button your are pushing ... from the message code it seems you are pressing top left button for command import instead of top right button for instance/beecon.
Some other screenshot of the advanced dialog box might be useful as well.
Bye
