Hello.
It has occurred to me, with the problem with the xsession-errors file
progressively consuming HDD space until it runs out, causing crashing,
and the deflating of the file, using the '>' action, to ask whether a
similar way exists, of freeing RAM that has been hijacked - RAM that
is also progressively consumed until it causes system failure, with
applications that are closed either in an orderly manner, or by
crashing, not freeing up the RAM (and, the evil javascript seeking to
sabotage the system, by, amongst other things, progressively consuming
the free RAM, until the system runs out of RAM and fails), so that I
could run a command, and, RAM that is not currently in use by programs
that are running, is freed?
At present, with 16GB of RAM, on this computer, and, "91% in use by
programs" and "8% in use as cache" (even though, I set cache off, in
each of the web browsers), it is a system riddled with bloatware, and,
like a cow with bloat, where it keeps getting bigger and bigger, it
needs for the gas to be released.
If browser windows are shut, the RAM is still occupied and unusable,
and, the parasitic javascript progressively consumes the RAM, until it
takes it all, so, a means of relieving the pressure, would be useful.
Once again, it would be better to be able to fix the problem
(deflating the bloat), rather than being required to shut the system
down (kill the animal).
Thank you in anticipation
Yes, that process is rather persistent...
It stays around if you close the last window with the little 'X' button
on the top right... It does exit if you use the menu (File->Quit).
