hi people
i have a script that executes external binaries using the system command.
now the problem is this:
the external binary is HUGE in terms of ram usage so i need a way to keep it
loaded in the memory
so that i can keep passing the next parameters, instead of loading it each
time.
kindly guide me about this
thanks
Saurabh
If you're running UNIX you can set the binary's sticky bit. See `man
chmod` and `man 2 chmod`. The sticky bit tells UNIX to leave the program
in RAM for a little while in case it is called again very soon.
