- Hello:
- I have a question (is it in a FAQ?):
-
- I have running a proces witch get much memory
- (i.e. 30 MB as Resident Size).
- I want to stop it (with a kill -24 ?) and I want
- it to free the memory.
- When I kill -24 (STOP SIGNAL) a process it continues
- using the same memory.
- What I want is this process SWAP OUT and FREE
- the MEMORY to use by other processes,and at the same
- time I can later restart the process using a kill -26.
- Is it possible ?
- Or, is there another way to do this?
-
- Thanks for your help in advance.
