I have searched for info on this. I did find the settings in rc.conf. I see a lot of discussion about running services, like cups, mysql and such, and controlling them. What I don't see is how to set up a regular program like Firefox or any other program that a user runs directly. I suspect it can be done but I can't find a howto that shows how to do it. I'll keep digging but if anyone has a link they have ran up on before and would like to share, it would be nice. It seems what I want to do is not very common. Thing is, Firefox sometimes goes nuts and when it does, it is determined to crash my system if I don't catch it. Even if I had the full 128GBs, it would just take longer to consume it as well. The best way I see to deal with this, limit its access to memory. It seems there is a tool to do this, now to figure out how to use it. Thanks to all for the help. Dale :-) :-)
