But that isn't always the best process to have killed off... One of my main freebsd machines is mainly here to run one process, which is a pretty good-sized process (>40meg). If I did get into a memory-shortage problem, I do *not* want that process killed, I'd want some other processes killed. It would be nice to have a way to indicate that, a la SIGDANGER. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = g...@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or dro...@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
