Would 'man 2 mlock' help? Brian Brunner brian.t.brunner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (610)796-5838 >>> geisj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 10/12/05 05:47PM >>> Is there a way to specify that program X should be kep in memory and not swap it out? I have a program that takes some time to load and as long as you keep using it its responsive but if after sometime its not in use and now I use it it has a slow response till it gets swapped back in. The box in question has 1 GIG ram and its not running much else just this program really. Just looking for a way to keep it in RAM.
