Even if one nices and ionices beagle, there still is the matter of swap space getting filled. Usually it is when that happens when ugly thoughts against the developers spring to life. is there a "swapnice" or something for control of max swap space an app can use?
If an application need memory, there is no memory free, and there is swap, the kernel will give it as much as it wants - unless you limit it with ulimit and friends.

a quick "info ulimit" reveals that perhaps the option RLIMIT_RSS can tell beagle to not fill all ram and swap, no? if so, then a tiny little script could totally control every aspect of resourse utilization by beagle. has anyone tried that? even i could do a small script with nice, ionice and ulimit only... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
