Hi, Couple of questions: 1. How to determine the number of processes in memory ? (inside kernel code, not shell : ps -ef | wc -l ) 2. Is there any provision for swapping out entire process in linux (as solaris has) ? If no, then how to make sure that a process all of whose pages have been swapped out is not scheduled again ? (may be by changing the process-state) And, how to later enable the process so that it gets scheduled ? -- Regards, Sukanto Ghosh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
