Limit the processes of 'GoogleDriveFS' max mermory failed #32

Hi, I'm using the exe fille of the release version 2.9-1 , my desktop is win10 professional x64, but it failed to limit the max memory for particular process.

here is the log:

C:\Users\billy\Downloads\procgov>procgov64 --maxmem 200M GoogleDriveFS.exe --debugger ERROR: The system cannot find the file specified (0x80004005)

C:\Users\billy\Downloads\procgov>procgov64 --maxmem 200M 13296 --debugger ERROR: The system cannot find the file specified (0x80004005)

thanks!

Hi, the program started successfully after added the target file path but it didn't decrease the memory.

thanks!

And I found out if run the program with pid, google drive will spawn the new exe to leave the program constraint.

Hi, few things to note:

please do not use the --debugger switch in normal runs
if a program is not in one of the locations listed in the PATH environment variable, then you need to provide the full path to the executable (as you did in the second example). If the path contains spaces put it into apostrophes
to make the constraint applicable to child processes, you need to use the -r switch

So your final command line should look as follows:

procgov64 -r --maxmem 1000M "C:\Program Files\Google\Drive File Stream\54.0.3\GoogleDriveFS.exe

I hope it will work, but I have never tested procgov with GoogleDriveFS.

Hi, thanks for the reply! it works really fine after added parameter -r
