However, if you want the full memory tuning process then proceed as follows...

Of course, you should run 'sync' first and then you'll need to be aware that the system will commence allocating memory to cache as soon as any application opens a file. To completely destroy any possibility of memory optimisation why not create a cron job to run all necessary commands once every 30 minutes?

The crontab file needs an entry thus:

30 * * * * /usr/bin/shagmem

Then add the following script as /usr/bin/shagmem

Code:

Enjoy :)
 
Cheers for this pal. Only been here 5 min and it's worked a treat.
