Changes http://page.axiom-developer.org/zope/mathaction/MathActionProblems/diff -- It is possible for simple Axiom commands to cause an infinite loop and not terminate. E.g.::
i:=1 repeat i:=i+1 such loops can also happen in more complex cases due to programming errors. The server can only tolerate a small number of such non-terminating Axiom processes. In order to prevent the server from freezing up, I have set a time limit of 1 minute of CPU time on all Axiom processes on the MathAction server. If a loop or other very long running Axiom command exceeds this limit, the process is subject to temination by the operating system. Of course there are some Axiom calculations that are not infinite loops but which might take much longer than 1 minute to complete but I think 1 minute of CPU time on this server is a generous limit for must things that people would want to do with MathAction and should not cause anyone any problems. Please let me know if you have any concerns with this new MathAction access policy. -- forwarded from http://page.axiom-developer.org/zope/mathaction/[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
