I want no monuments

Having found and read this forum thread, I’ve modified the script to:

#!/bin/bash
username=$(whoami)

function check_app {
	proc="$(ps aux | grep $username | grep -v $0 | grep $1 | grep -v grep)"
	if [ "$proc" != "" ]
	then
		echo "!!! Shutdown $1 first!"
		exit 1
	fi
}

function vacuum_mozillas {
	echo "Vacuuming $1..."
	find $2 -type f -name '*.sqlite' -exec sqlite3 {} VACUUM \;
}

check_app firefox
check_app thunderbird
vacuum_mozillas firefox ~/.mozilla/firefox/
vacuum_mozillas thunderbird ~/.thunderbird

echo 'Done!'

While it sensibly improves start up times, don’t expect too much.
