Subject: Limiting processes per user
Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2000 17:34:12 GMT
I am running a shellaccount server where I want to put a limit on the
max number of processes per user. I'e already took a look at
include/asm-i386/resource.h but I don't think that this will solve my
problem.
so I was thinking about a crontab script that checks every ten seconds
for the number of processes per user.
So in pseudo code ...
allusers=get the list of all users
x=0
for allusers
begin
x = 0
processes = ps aux | grep currentuser
for all prcoesses
begin
increase x
if x > 6 then kill -9 currectprocess
end
end
But now in a correct bash shell script :) and in a crontab that happens
each ten seconds.
OR is there a WAY better solution for this? if so .. please inform me
about it :)

Subject: Shell scripting and chmod +s
Hi out there,
I have a little problem with a shell script that has to call programs only accessible
to root.
PROBLEM:
I want to provide Internet dialup using ISDN/Modem to a group of people. To
configure/initializing
the dialup they have to call programs that are only accesible to root (isdnctrl for
example) but I
don't want the programs 'chmod +s'. Instead I wrote a shell script, that does the
technical configuration
stuff for the logged in user. To gain access to the root-programs I 'chmod +s' this
script.
BUT: It didn't worked. Even if the script has the setuid bit set, it is still denied
to execute the root-programs.
Why? And what can I do to make it work?

Typically, auto-boot will be set to true on a Sun machine. In that
case, if the kernel panics, the machine *will* reboot and be running
again.

This I do agree with.

But Linux != UNIX. UNIX itself *is* standard, to a large degree.
As well as the previously mentioned SVR4 and POSIX standards, there's
also the UNIX '98 and UNIX 2000 standards (both of which Solaris is
compliant with). I agree that Linux has some work to do in the
are of standards conformance (though Linux advocaters may diagree with
me here!).

NT tries to do almost everything UNIX does, but fails - miserably.
The use of Windoze cripples the mind; its use should, therefore, be
regarded as a criminal offence. (With apologies to Edsger W. Dijkstra)

Solo has X11 up (looks like KDE), interloper does not. The X server has
a loop (as does most of the X11 clients), that is periodically checking
to see if the silly user has moved the mouse, clicked a button, or typed
a key on the keyboard. These loops are not *individually* cpu bound, but
there is some cumulatively cpu and I/O usage. So, 10 processes using
1/10 of the system resources == a load average of 1. Or 10 processes
using 1/100 of the system 10 times each during some 'period' also equals
a load average of 1. Your system is working, but is doing many *brief*
little things every few milisecs or so. A load average of 1 is not a
big deal, unless you have a '386 at 20mhz or something. I just counted:
12 X11 clients, plus the X server. Note: you are running kdm on solo,
but not on interloper. What happens is you do this:
Log out of your X session.
do a CTRL-ALT-F2
login to the console there.
do:
telinit 3
NOW wait a minute or so and do a top now.
Watch as the load average drifts down to about 0.

Won't 'ulimit' do what you want?
[hal@feenix hal]$ ulimit -a
