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
What i have noticed that top process is always killed, But after hacking
investigations like monitoring bandwidth, monitoring chatbots, running
rkhunter, verifying ps & top binaries i found the server appears clean.
During this monitoring i noticed that always top process automatically
killed when TIME+ column shows 1:59.96 and not all top processes are
killed at the same time (i am logging via multiple ssh sessions),just
the process that get 1:59:96 in the TIME+ column.
Now, are there anyway that i can -as root- do that with myself by
previous settings.
thanx for your concern.
