A while back I posted the question on how to quit a program gracefully before memory runs out. I received a ton of great responses, but I wasn't happy with all of them.
So I tossed up this dirty little hack that runs on solaris 2.8. Hopefully I'll be able to process more of my HUGE log files...
Enjoy. Comments and improvements always welcome.
My biggest crime is that I over-comment...
