Ah, yes. I haven't used it in a long time.
Actually, the more I've discussed this with the user, the more additional
details are unfolding, so I'll let them figure out what they want to
do, and we'll see where that actually leads.

Subject: Flushing RAM contents?
A user wants to time a command/program/application and ensure the full
contents of that command's data management has been flushed from RAM/cache
and saved to disk. Is there a way to ensure the cache/RAM is flushed to
disk, or is the flushing a function of the kernel or the application?
This happens to be on a 64-bit Intel system with 64-bit CentOS 5, fully
patched. But even if the system were an out-of-box 64-bit install,
unpatched, would it make a difference?
Thanks.
Scott
