Hey guys, Is there anything similar to CleanRam for WinMO which I can use in my n900?

or is there any code that I could find what's using the cpu and kill the process??

I saw from conky that, while my phone was idle, it was on 900mhz 100% constantly, it was yesterday and I did not note down the process name.. It was Ok after a restart, but sometimes I wish I could just kill the big processes, like Ctrl+alt+del in windows, and shoot'em up:D

Use 'top' from the commandline to find what hangs. Then do 'kill PID' (the PID of a proces it the number on the leftmost column of the top display), or killall processname if you know what's hanging and want to skip the top step.

Alternatively use htop. It has a curses gui and can be started from the menu.

dont know about the KEyboard shortcuts, but if you want to kill something that wont accept a kill command use

sudo kill -s KILL [PID]

(doublekill)
Dont know if it works on the N900 or if it can harm you device, maybe.

Windows Mobile works very differently from the N900. It's designed so that you need not really close and app, this is managed from the OS itself as RAM becomes shorter. I personally find this design stupid, but then it's why programs like this "CleanRam" exist.

I think the easiest is to use Top and the "pkill <program>". You could try to start by wiriting "top" in the terminal. Open a ny terminal then "pkill top" to close top..
