AFAIK, this works in the same way as it does on Linux desktop; each process has its own oom_adj pseudofile under the /proc filesystem. The /proc documentation states: 2.12 /proc/<pid>/oom_adj - Adjust the oom-killer score ------------------------------------------------------ This file can be used to adjust the score used to select which processes should be killed in an out-of-memory situation. Giving it a high score will increase the likelihood of this process being killed by the oom-killer. Valid values are in the range -16 to +15, plus the special value -17, which disables oom-killing altogether for this process. _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
