Submitted By: Mike King, Grand Rapids Public Schools
Operating System: VMS V5.5, VMS V5.3

Keywords: System Management - VMS, Utilities - VMS
Memory Requirements: 73K
Notes: Executable and/or object code is included.
Abstract: SHRINKER is an idle process monitor. It runs as a detached process and monitors interactive processes. It then either shrinks their working set list or logs them out after a certain inactivity time thus freeing up memory for active users. The choice as to whether to shrink or terminate the idle process is chosen by the user and dynamically changeable. The option as to whether to log the activity of SHRINKER or not is available and also dynamically changeable. SHRINKER is started, stopped, and has its options dynamically modified by means of a DCL command installed by the user.

Any adjustments to SHRINKER's options or defaults do not require changes to be made to the program code. However, the SHRINKER programs can be modified by a competent systems programmer to implement any other options that they desire.
SHRINKER has been designed to spend the least CPU time possible to an elevated interrupt priority level.
