jorge thank you for the reply. mypaint seems to be updated and i have not experienced issues running it as of yet. i will uninstall speedometer. i dont have any clue as to why i have so many processes running though even after i run the script. how many do you have running after you run it in your n900?

Did you install ROOTSH?

The normal amount of active processes on the N900 must be about 200. Any amount higher is because you are running something aditional

I noticed when my N900 became laggy it almost always was due to hildon-thumbnailerd running like mad. The optimize script may consider adding a line to renice hildon-thumbnailerd to 19 to make it better.

Something like

Yes. I think I installed rootsh for custom ring tones. I don't know what is exactly rootsh. Is there anyway I can verify if I installed?

I don't know when, but I entered password on n900 while doing something. I guess it is installing custom ring tones.

My unix skills are rusty and did work on it long time back(AIX, Solaris). I never heard sudo command since I only used 'su'.

After researching this is what I understood. I installed rootsh for custom ring tones. So this installed 'gainroot' command in /usr/sbin. I am assuming that gainroot is same as rootsh. sudo is su+ command on same line

I don't think I ever set root password on my n900.

"sudo gainroot"
is the N900 equivalent of "su".

Need the "rootsh" package from Extras

I see your point;), but, renicing processes is not part of this script because that kind of commands you have to run it only one time and you are ready to go all the way. The optimize script is not for run it one time only, it is for run it everytime you have slow downs, and adding that line is redundant. That is why I'm working in another script. Look at this:

For some reason when I have this script setup in Alarmed for a nightly run, the power button menu does not work. But if I run the script manually, the power button menu is not affected. Weird :) Not running the script from Alarmed anymore but sometimes using it when swapping gets out of hand.
