Solution: Kill processes when getting out of memory!

[RoutedScripter]

I was battling it before - already won over it.

And now making some stuff that'll make it even better.


The program is basically done - just debug and finishing touches

to me it sounds like you're fighting with windows when you'd be much happier on linux.

linux has a better implementation of pagefile - it's placed in a separate partition.

You can configure Windows to work like this too, so it's a draw in this respect.

The point is in the algorithm that pages stuff. but i have little experience with linux.

I had years ago knoppix live CD ... had to backup all files when MS had still locked folders.

And recently fiddled around with fedora for a week ... there were other occasions but can't remember tham.


Well actually going through of that process of "getting used to " and getting to know every detail is well ... time consuming and i don't know why i didn't found better time ... lazy!


EDIT:

Hopefully this thing here will get done in a few minutes ... if all goes well.

Here's a preview

Still going through some debug - but when out will still be beta.

I've never killed a single process and i'm still using WinXP on my netbook. Killing apps is a thing of the past from the Win9x era.

In what capacity do you think this would apply to what this thread is about ? A netbook doesn't sound it has much memory in the first playe either.

This program is used as a human failsafe - which happens to me a few times a month that i forget about how much RAM i have left - i fire up something and the screen goes black and a big "ooops" comes to my mind.

This is intended for environiments with moderate RAM (6GB is not a whole lot) and lack of pagefile.

It's still not fully debuged - sometimes it has problems closing because of running threads (and closes after the error msg time is out) So you would forcefully shut down the process if needed.

But it works and does exactly what i wanted all the time. Ofcourse if you're rich with 16 GB ram or more ... guess not worry about it running out.
