When I start up my class Sage server notebook, I pass the ulimit option to the notebook command with the following option:

ulimit='-u 100 -t 3600 -v 500000'

According to the notebook? docs, this should limit a worksheet process to using 3600 seconds of *wall* time and 500MB of virtual memory. However, it seems that several times I've come in and a single maxima process is taking several gigs of memory, loading the system well-beyond normal capacity, and taking about 70-80% of the CPU, with the time measured in hundreds of minutes. Is there something wrong with my ulimit statement above?

I am using the server_pool option, so I believe the ulimit conditions above should take effect.

Thanks,

Jason
