What is script for Task Killer?

[VingInMedina]

Does anyone know what the actual script is that is run from the ChevyNo1 Tools -> Options -> Task Killer?

That's what is in the cm.lst but I'm not sure what the actual script is.

I believe that is the data file that the script reads in order to know what should be killed, but that isn't the actual script that is being run.

I turned logging on and ran the task killer the only thing it showed was that it ran the ctk file from /system/xbin. I looked at that file but it was undecipherable, mostly just symbols and some text. Not sure what Chevy's been up to lately but hopefully he is ok. Hopefully someone else or Chevy himself can give you some more info. I think I might Google android terminal emulator commands and see if I can figure this out.

I found this Linux Commands on Android It looks like the script uses the kill command, I might be wrong but even if I am, it would probably work. You just have to know the name and location of the process that's being killed. Just made my 1000th post, yay

Thanks! The ctk program is the one. So, it isn't a script, but an actual compiled program, but that's ok. I ran it from the adb shell and it reported the free memory before and after.

That's cool, glad I could help. Now I have to ask a question, why use adb when you can run the script straight from your phone?

Ahh, because I am old and it is much easier for me to hook up the phone to the computer and use adb. :-)

I am trying out using an app called ScriptScheduler2 which will run a script at a specified interval. I've put the ctk program in that script. I want to see if keeping the memory lower helps my phone perform better. I think I am pushing my poor old droid beyond what it is able to handle.

Well, I hope it works out for you, good luck!
