Thank you very much for your concern. I 'll try raising numbers. But, Why i used *? because the server is web hosting server and each user has his own group name. Now, do you have any idea about restricting such situation? Does * mean restrict root also or just all users except root?
Do you know any -simple- guide for limits.conf?
Thank you very much hameed

Hi, Can modifications to /etc/security/limits.conf cause top process to be automatically killed.

Your numbers seem VERY low except for mailnull. I would really recommend restricting user groups instead of EVERYTHING. I believe top may be using more resources than you've allowed, and is being killed because of it.
