General :: Limit Any Process From Using More Than 500 MB Of RAM?

Jan 30, 2011

I would like to limit any process from using more than 500 MB of RAM. AFAIK this is done using RSS in /etc/security/limits.conf but the process called gnome-panel apparently is using 618436 kB of VmRSS. How can this be ?

Quote:

/etc/security/limits.conf
* hard rss 512000

Quote:

username@debian:~$ cat /proc/3002/status
Name:gnome-panel
State:S (sleeping)
Tgid:3002

General :: Way To Limit CPU Usage For Some Process?

Sep 21, 2009

I'm writing a shell script which aims to create a safe gtared (xxx.sql.gz) copy of MySQL databases.This script is planned to be Cron-Jobed.

Well, what I need to add to this shell, is something that limit CPU usage for the whole process (just in case if the database being generating is a huge one.)So, after few time of googling I found couple of solutions:

- Using cpulimit.
I tried to place the code in Position(1) and Position(2) but it didn't seem to be working fine.. Any idea about the right use?

And the other Solution is:- Using nice.

Well, assuming I named my shell script (sqlbacker)..

Finally, this is my first time I ever write a shell, so correct me if somewhere I made a mistake :-)
(The script itself works perfectly)

General :: Need To Limit CPU Usage Of Process

Jan 26, 2010

There's a disfunctional process eating copious cpu time.Is there a way to effectively assign it a high nice value? I need to do this whenever it runs, for whatever reason, and I can't be bothered to track down all the scripts and scenarios that cause it to run and change the script to use nice. And I can't be bothered to manually run renice whenever I notice that it's running.

I want the OS to automatically assign a high nice value to this process, perhaps based on the processes name. Is this possible?Presumably, a cron job could run every 5 minutes and run "renice" on every process matching a given name, but I'm hoping for a solution with more finess.

Server :: Limit The Suphp User Memory Limit?

May 12, 2010

I have a VPS server with 512 MB memory. The php.ini is set so script memory limit = 16 MB. However, I have noticed in my top report, instances like the following:

Quote:

5484 coldclim 25 0 46476 32m 5920 R 0.0 6.4 0:00.93 php

The bold number of 6.4 is the % of sever memory this process is using. 6.4 % of 512 MB of memory is about 32 MB of memory, so it appears that this isn't being limited by php.ini. Am I correct? This leads to the next question: Is there some way to limit the amount of memory a single suphp process can use? (Basically, something like the setting in php.ini which limits suphp processes in the same way.)

General :: Sending Signal From Child Process To Parent Process?

Sep 8, 2010

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>

[code]....

Description of what the code does or what i intended to do:

1. Created a child process from parent process using 'fork()'

2. Sent a signal 'SIGALRM' from child process to parent process using 'sigqueue' function.

(The Third parameter of 'siqueue' function contains the message (message msg) which the child process wants to send to the parent process.'msg' is a stucture instance containing a) pid of child and b) string) 5. Print the 'msg' sent by child process inside the signal handler function 'sig_action_function' of the parent process I am getting some junk value when this line is executed

Code:

printf("%d
",msg->cpid);

I expected to get the pid of child process, which the child process sent to parent process through the signal.

General :: Process Scheduler A Part Of Process Queue?

Aug 12, 2010

as we all know Process Scheduler does Process scheduling and its a process as well. I was just wondering that if this happens then the Process "Process Scheduler" should be a part of Process queue as well.

So if there are 5 process are there in Process queue & process scheduler is administrating them then since its also a process, once it puts a process under RUN state it should itself go inside queue because at one instant only one process can get executed on a processor. This is quite confusing for me. Please help me out. I tried to search on this but could not find any relevant topics.

General :: Cp 'limit' Numbered Backups?

Mar 17, 2011

I currently use cp to backup data. I prefer it over rsync. I use the -b switch to make a backup of data and recently found you can use --backup=t to create numbered backups.Using --backup=t means that I could end up having 100 versions of a file if I change it 100 times. With the -b switch I will only ever have 2 versions. Is it possible to limit the numbered backups to 5 for example? So I would only ever have 5 versions?
