Yes, it could cause an automatic reboot if you are miser running it. If you run it only when you feel the system is slow you are ok then.

The answer is pretty clear here, NO, just try it and you will see. I challenge you to make a video showing the battery percent before and after running the script, and then same video but rebooting and that way we all can see if you theory about the MHZ at full load taking eating the battery is true. I already know it is not, like most of the people that use this script.
but extending it with additional "killall processes" stuff

There will always be n00bs reading. How can you prevent it? can you control the internet? Just saying.. Still, GOD bless YOU
I asked to keep the n00bs in mind who are reading this!
Make this script restart anything and we may talk again.

Hi JorgeFX,
Sorry to not be clear. I was asking about this new script you're working on. What exactly is it supposed to do and how are you progressing on it? Is the point to modify the N900 setting in such a way as to avoid persistent slow-down problems or does it have another goal?
Thanks for the optimize script btw. I don't find I have to run it much but I appreciate the effort you made in providing it nonetheless.
thanks

. I mean, don't be miser, the N900 WILL NOT become more speedy just for running this script 100 times in a row. Your N900 is pretty good already!
By the way, my uptime is 20.5 days now. I have never been able to go this long before without rebooting.
Thanks for a very useful script! For me it's not so much about saving battery but just saving the inconvenience and "embarrassment" of having to reboot my phone. Phones shouldn't need to be rebooted.
(blah blah blah it's not a phone it's a computer blah blah)

One of the things I hate about optimization / configuring is that what works well for one person or workload may make things worse for another. So I am very interested to see what JorgeFX comes up with. I'm hoping it means I don't need to bother trying to do it myself

This script is nice but it might reboot your n900 and even worse overheat and drain the battery due to kills!
I added sleep between every kill, now it takes more time but this will make everything to run smoothly.
Download the file attached, i renamed the file to refresh

Quick question...
Is this script better than just rebooting the phone? (other than the inconvenience of course!)
thanks

Folks: This does not "optimize" anything and the thread title is misleading. No kernel or user-space settings are changed.
The script kills all Maemo daemons. Some will restart properly, while others may not. It is far safer to simply reboot your phone.
While the intentions of the author may be good, this script is of little value.

There seems to be a lot of fear-mongering about this script. Is there any actual evidence to back up the claims that it causes all sorts of damage? Or is it all just FUD?
