Hi all,
A rather odd request:
I'm looking to prove that by using a zone I can increase the overall stability
of a server (if the app falls over it can't the the machine with it).
Does anyone know of a program/script that would bring down a server if it was
running in the glabal zone, but

A kernel panic is a kernel panic is a kernel panic. :-)
So if an app crashes the complete zone, chances are it will crash the
entire box. After

If an application was poorly written and caused the kernel to panic in
the g-zone, are you saying that the same application shouldn't be able
to cause a kernel panic in the ng-zone as it wouldn't be able to load
kernel modules, etc in
Many thanks Gregory, I think that might do just the job!

So using dtrace and panic() might do the trick...
H... I don't think so. Your original question was to find a
sufficiently broken app to induce a kernel panic.
