The main problem with this script is that it bluntly kills a lot of system processes and applications (without even checking if they're actually running), which itself isn't entirely bad, but is a bit "unclean" way of doing it. There might or might not be side effects of running such mass-killall, so basically ymmv. Earlier in this thread I've suggested better ways of finding out which system processes exactly cause long-term issues with memory and performance, and killing those properly in first place, rather than executing tens of killalls in row.

Tbh, initially I felt fairly enthusiastic about this script, yet finally decided to not run it on my device, as I believe there are better ways of regaining N900's performance.

This is like a story out of the Winblows world.
Oh, the server is not working anymore? Just reboot it, that will fix the problem (NOT).. unthinkable scenario for mission critical unix boxes. And yes, my phone is mission critical

Okay, what are those 'better' ways?

@masq and @memoryguy.

The other script is about tweaks for the N900 to run better and speedy. But remember, it does not make miracles! Most of the things it includes are tweaks that many have already on their devices, but the script is intended to be use for people that only want to do one click and nothing more

Oh, you are so smart, you ran it one and your device have so many stupid things that it did not support one little script. More than 70 people disagrees with you. I tested the script for almost 3 months, so please, one time reboot is nothing to be afraid.

Challenge? I challenge you to send me back from future... read again
Oh and when you are done with time-traveling please provide proper battery readings as well... as my battery remains on 0% for about 12h - reboot included... EDIT: found the proper tools
Instead of crying and impose or require, why don't you help us to fix all you claim is not working well?
Is very easy to criticize and not to help.

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)
Thanks for your comments, it makes me very happy to know I help

thanks
It depends if you have battery and time to reboot. For instance, if I you have to record a 30min video and your device feels slow and you have only 30% battery, my advise is to run the script to optimize everything. That way the device will be more speedy and you didn't waste your battery

Hi Evad, I understand your point, but I tested your method and it seems to be more unstable. I always lose all my widgets. Can you explain me what that does?

What exactly do you mean? dsmetool way of restarting hildon-home? It works flawlessly for me, ie. I never loose widgets. Anyway, this is not what I only meant, I was referring to sp-endurance I mentioned in my other post.
