Is there a way to limit the number of tasks and memory usage a user can use in Linux ? I run a test program that did fork after fork with a lot of mallocs, and the system almost hanged out. How can I limit this so the system will continue working ? Thanks. Gibi Cohen <gibi@actcom.co.il> <97:200/400.69@ultinet> <2:404/214.69@fidonet.org> <http://www.actcom.co.il/~gibi/ P.O.
