I'm curious if anyone's come up with a good approach to shutting down all noncritical services (quickly) to start up a rather large game (such as UT 2k4). Rebooting will only get you so far. I'd like to be able to:
- Flush all inactive memory
- Shut down all noncritical services, such as indexing, the Dock, Widgets, etc.
- Quit any open applications
with a single script. Sure, I can kill -9 a bunch of stuff, but there's got to be a better way. And that won't really help with my inactive memory either. This is a Powerbook G4 system with 1GB of RAM, yet it seems to run much smoother after shutting down as much as I can.
