Running an Application in Memory Machine
To run an application with Memory Machine memory management, use the mm script supplied with Memory Machine.
About this task
Procedure
Use the script to start an application under Memory Machine as follows:
$ mm -c|--config config_file app_name app_cl_parms
where:
- -c|--config
- indicates an application configuration file that defines the Memory Machine environment to be used for this application instance.
- config_file
- is an optional file path to an application configuration file. See The Application Configuration File.
- app_name
- is the application CLI command.
- app_cl_parameters
- are any command line parameters required by your application.
Important: If the application is attached to a terminal, you cannot
capture a snapshot of the application in Memory Machine
Dashboard. It is not enough to detach the application process from the command line
terminal; standard input and output must be eliminated or attached to a
non-interactive device.
