Is there a way I can prevent processes from taking up all the ram then swap until the box crashes/freezes?
If the process is started from bash, whther by hand or script, I would think that bash's "ulimit" builtin would give what you need? "man bash", /ulimit
To prevent a process from running wild, it would have to be non-root user I guess.
I'm using IEs4Linux and the wineserver seems to start taking up RAM until my box dies, it happens slowly.
