Hi Tim,
Keith asked:
I noticed a script I added several month ago (and completely
forgotten it) which cleared the swap and memory cache over night
Glad you found the problem, but what were (are) you trying to achieve
with that script?
Yeah, if you have processes running that use more memory than RAM, so
swap has been used, and you disable all swap then the kernel's
out-of-memory killer will pick processes to kill to free memory.
Doesn't sound ideal.
Cheers, Ralph.

It was an issue (again) with swap and memory usage, so I have a little
script that clears memory cache, cleared the swap file so I started
the day with fresh settings so to speak. Otherwise if I did not clear
them I was logging myself out and back in again every other days a the
browser usage would just become to much and one of the browsers would
freeze. I could accomplish the same by closing and restarting the
browsers (I did for a while) but this was a bit better and had been
working fine until I moved the swap file.
Thanks again for your input
Tim
Morning all
I can confirm that the PC was operating as normal this morning, swap
file was there and working as it should.
