If you put something like the folowing line in httpd.conf, all prcess started from within the apache will be limited in theire memory usage. In this exampel to 50MB. RLimitMEM 52428800 52428800 Sorry, dont know the exact Syntax of that Option... -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Mailing List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Freitag, 3.

When people run huge CGIs, normally we are notified, and kill them manually. We've also got a small script we run periodically to kill of any "stuck" or "hanged" processes by users' cgis (we use suexec so they run under their usernames). HOWEVER, as this is a reactive measure, rather than a PROactive measure, we'd rather have a way of LIMITING their usage like we do diskspace. By putting it in the /etc/init.d/apache script, it would limit the apache server as well (www-data) user, and thats bad. We ONLY want to limit the user's cgi processes. We haven't founded any script that suexec uses to run user cgis, so we can't limit it that way. Any ideas??? Thanks in advance. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kasatenko Ivan Alex." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 03, 2000 4:56 PM Subject: Re: resource limits Hello Jeremy, Friday, November 03, 2000, 3:09:35 AM, you wrote: JCR> What is an easy way to find out how much of certain resources I am using?
