Hi, Can modifications to /etc/security/limits.conf cause top process to be automatically killed.
First, Here is the contents of the /etc/security/limits.conf
hard cpu 2
soft nproc 5
hard nproc 10
mailnull hard nproc 100
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.
