Jay, try Alarmed with okhabin's version. Seems to work fine and the power button still works. Haven't had a major N900 jam yet to see how effective it is at clearing up, but I found I lost widgets after hildon-home was restarted in the earlier versions of the script.

Dany-69 please see my previous post about this problem.

Windows used two characters and Linux/Unix only use one character.
Hope this helps.

After you have downloaded it remove the .txt extension.

I am fairly new to the N900 and Linux
I have used the following script 'optimize.desltop' in /usr/share/applications/hildon
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Name=Optimize
Exec=osso-xterm "sh /opt/scripts/QuitOptimize"
Icon=
X-Window-Icon=
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=false
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
an in /opt/scripts the file named 'QuitOptimize'
echo Your Nokia N900 is being Optimized
killall -q pulseaudio
killall -q trackerd
killall -q tracker-indexer
killall -q browser browserd
killall -q Calendar
killall -q osso_calculator
killall -q camera-ui
killall -q rtcom-call-ui
killall -q modest
killall -q rtcom-messaging-ui
killall -q image-viewer
killall -q osso_notes
killall -q osso-addressbook
killall -q hildon-desktop
killall -q hildon-status-menu
killall -q systemui
killall -q tonegend
killall -q mafw-gst-renderer
echo Your Nokia N900 is now Optimized!
I do not get any error messages but I do not see the 'echo Your Nokia N900 is now Optimized message' at the end and I see no changes in the Conky page
Is all well or have i missed something ?
thanks

So, further advice: If you really really need to run this script, please reboot instead. Then find out which application(s) eat up resources, and complain to the maintainer about it, most preferably file a bug. That way the problem will be fixed instead of workarounded (inventing new words here) and the device can be used without tricks, to the fullest.
Still, the script has its use, if the system hangs or some sort. It's sort of "soft reboot". It's not all bad. I'm just afraid of killing 'em all.

@Dany-69 and @pycage
That happened because it was still rebooting. Maybe your CPU was still doing something else.

. But, it is not a perfect world. I agree with you, but, it can be maybe 4 or 5 months before one or two bugs get fixed, maybe more, or maybe one week. Meanwhile, this is a little help.Like I said on this post: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...0&postcount=30
It will NOT fix the bugs that NOKIA should fix, but it helps

Hi JorgeFX,
You mentioned that you would soon be releasing a one-time script to optimize the N900 performance. Is that still on its way? What kind of things would this script do and what would it fix? Don't mean to rush you but if you can drop a note I'm curious.
I'm running your other script though I haven't noticed a significant difference. Actually the one time I ran it it slowed down my machine a bit but that's probably cause some processes were still doing some initialization stuff in the background. Will try to give some more useful feedback if I notice some consistent behavior (good or bad).
thanks!
