Thanks :). I'm curious why you haven't yet included my process selection algoritm. I know it can select a blocked or otherwise unkillable process the way the code is in right now, but a workaround for that can be made in about 5 minutes. The "show me the code" attitude doesn't seem to fit me now, unfortunately. I'm still busy moving house and I have to be a good python programmer by tomorrow. Having never seen much python but with the book in front of me :) cheers, Rik -- Open Source: you deserve to be in control of your data. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Le Reseau netwerksystemen BV: http://www.reseau.nl/ | | Linux Memory Management site: http://www.linux.eu.org/Linux-MM/ | | Nederlandse Linux documentatie: http://www.nl.linux.org/ | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
