Process KILLED
I've got a client on an ISP that's running Debian Woody. They drive me
crazy because they have hacked up things as pretend security -- ps and top
only show your own processes for one thing.
Anyway, ulimit shows "unlimited" yet any CPU intensive processes I run get
killed.
$time perl -le 'do {} while 1;'
Killed
real 0m16.267s
user 0m15.400s
sys 0m0.070s
My guess is they have some script looking for 99% CPU usage of some such
thing.
Sure that above doesn't so much, but I've got an important program that
scans through a database of small records -- all that data gets into
memory so there's no disk I/O and the process is all CPU. And it gets
killed.
I'm asking their support, but I just wanted to check here first in case
there's anything else that might be causing the script to get killed.
