[CentOS] Script consumes memory
I have the following script that when executed, consumes memory and makes the system inaccessible. All process are halted. First, I don't understand what is wrong with the script Secondly, I'm surprised that Linux allows this to run unchecked to the detriment of the entire system. SCRIPT - #!/bin/sh FTP="/usr/bin/ftp" # VMID="asystem.ourcompany.com" VMUser="STATDASD" VMPass="STATDASD" VMDir="VMSYSA:." DataFile="data.txt" VMFile="DS8100.DATA" #--- Get some information about me #--work from the same directory as the script MYSCRIPT=`$BASENAME $0` MYSCRIPTDIR=`$DIRNAME $0` if [ $MYSCRIPTDIR != "." ] then cd $MYSCRIPTDIR fi #--- FTP to MAINT on mkmfvm $FTP -vn <<$$EOD open $VMID user $VMUser $VMPass cd $VMDir ascii put $DataFile $VMFile bye $$EOD Frank M.
