Hi all
I have a small problem. I want to restrict maximum memory allocated to a
program. I don't want any damn program to eat as much memory as it can get
allocated. Particularly after I tried Opera, which fills memory like water fills
road in rainy season. On a 64 MB/256MB Swap machine, I don't want a message
'Fork() not enough memory' when I issue kill of ps on command prompt.
Secondly if anybody has used freeamp, it forks itself around 10 times and hogs
all the memory. I searched code for fork(). Only place it has fork() is when you
open a site using a browser etc. It does not fork in normal situation. Is there
any other way of creating child processes?
Bye
