Hello everybody.
A first comment I want to make is that I didn't program this script myself.
I just ported some scripts from Arch Linux to Ubuntu, so did minimal changes to the actual program script, only the boot script.
This script solves the problem of always having to execute some commands to synchronize the browser profiles to RAM.
The description on the Arch Linux wiki is:
Running this daemon is beneficial for two reasons:
- Reduced wear to physical discs
- Speed
Since the profile(s), browser cache, etc. are relocated into tmpfs, the corresponding onslaught of I/O associated with using the browser is also redirected from the physical disc to RAM, thus reducing wear to the physical disc and also greatly improving browser speed and responsiveness. The access time of RAM is on the order of nanoseconds while the access time of physical discs is on the order of milliseconds. This is a difference of six orders of magnitude or 1,000,000 times faster.

Before installing the debian file you have to add one line to you're fstab file. The line is:
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0
Link to the debian file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/58201974/pro...ync-daemon.deb

After installing you need to edit the /etc/psd.conf file, and add at least one user to the list.
I hope some people are willing to test this script themselves. When you discover some bugs feel free to mail me or leave a comment on this forum.
