What on earth does “clear inactive RAM” mean? No offense, but whoever assigned you that task doesn’t seem to have any idea of how a modern virtual memory system works. What do they want this utility to accomplish? Regardless, this isn’t the right list for such a question. There aren’t Cocoa/Obj-C APIs for anything that low level, so if you want to mess with paging and swap files and virtual memory, you’ll need to use POSIX or Mach functions. Try the “darwin-userlevel” list. —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
