It is even easier, no coding needed to mprime (for Linux at least)!
killall -STOP mprime
and
killall -CONT mprime
parse /proc/stat,
watch the swap numbers go up, and if is too drastically kill mprime with the
-STOP signal,
after some seconds, watch the numbers again, and if those numbers do not go
up to dramatically
kill mprime with the -CONT signal. (Write a tcl/tk frondend and do the same,
write a server script and do the same, ad infinitum)
Can something similar be done on the windows service?
