Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Application memory limiter
« on: October 14, 2014, 07:38 PM »
Hi guys,
New user here but exact same requirements as vbmark. I have an application that I know is running away when it hits 1gb RAM. I currently have a solution which I'm running on Windows 7 x64 but I want a better one as described above.
To assist those looking for *something* I use a little app called Usage Monitor which has the capability to monitor a memory level on a given process and take action once that level is hit. I have it executing a batch file which includes a taskkill.exe command to kill off the offending process and a blat.exe command to email me so I can see when this happens (all hours it seems).
The problem with this setup is that the memory limit on the process seems to have to be set every time the process is created and I often forget to set the limit until I notice it has taken all available RAM and made my PC run like a 286. It would also be nice if that util could accept the commands straight into its own menus but it gets the job done and the best improvement to it would be to just monitor for when that process starts so I don't have to set it every time.
I had a bit of a look for other tools which brought me here but haven't found anything else so far.
Enjoy
