As I am pushing almost 3 months since a reboot, I am finding that many things are running extremely slowly, as of late. I have 512MB RAM, yet I still push into swap, even when I should not (e.g. even in init 1 with only the essentials running, I still use ~488MB RAM). I know how to clear the swap without rebooting, however I would like to know how to clear unused addresses of the RAM without rebooting? If any one knows how to do this, or a utility to do this, please enlighten me :) Thanks, -John -=JericAtSbcglobalDotNetwork=- 84 days 18 hrs 05 min, since last reboot. Did you know ... Firewalls, NATs, VPN, WindowsXP, and many other security/networking tools are technically ILLEGAL in the states of DE, IL, MD, MI, WY, PA, MA and VA? Stop the insanity, before its too late!
