i would make a slight improvement to the suggestion:
1. something that takes a snapshot of all the running tasks (only tasks that show up in the task manager) that the user launched.
2. then user selects something called
a) flush tasks - this removes everything running that is *not* in the snapshot.
b) end all - this removes everything running.
as for refreshing ram, there are better strategies to do this. i suggest we leave this out and put this as a separate script that runs at a scheduled time (say 4am??).
just some suggestions

your suggestions are really good.. giving right direction to thread.. & you are right Ram Refresh should be a separate script....

Get tasks started by user:
End task gracefully:
(PID is the process number you get from the ps command)
Kill task:
Clear RAM:
(Not very useful though. Unlike under Windows free RAM isn't seen as a good thing in Linux environments. The Linux kernel's assumption is that free RAM is wasted RAM, therefore it will fill the RAM up with cached data ASAP. Frequently clearing the RAM also potentially decreases the lifetime of your eMMC because everything that is not cached data won't be deleted but moved to swap.)
Code:
ps ux
Code:
kill PID
Kill task:
Code:
kill -9 PID
Code:
sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

my request is...
is it possible to add a "CLOSE ALL TASKS" command next to "End Current Task" in Power Button Menu... which also Doubles as "Refresh Ram" when all the tasks are Closed...
it would be a really helpful addition to N900 performance
Plus leave the RAM management to the kernel. He knows it better than you.

(try comparing the output of "ps", "ps ux" and "ps abcde"

at that time "End Current Task" in Power Button Menu comes handy but it only ends one task at a time plus i dont know if it ends it smoothly or not(i mean in case microB is downloading a file.. does it stops microb from writing it to disc & then ends it)..
also it feels that N900 ram doesn't gets free after we end all the tasks manually... in windows i used a few commands to clean clipbord after all my multimedia work to Refresh RAM & get a faster PC...
