In the meantime, the proper thing to do is renice the memory-hogging process to give more priority to other tasks. Setting it to a niceness value of 16-18 should give you better performance without killing the process, although swap usage may be increased. Limiting memory is more difficult. You can set a limit with ulimit or PAM, but if the application exceeds the limits it will probably segfault...not what you want. This is really an application problem. You should have your programmers (or vendor) add support for memory limits in the application so that you can specify a maximum memory size. -- The DMCA is anti-consumer.
