You might not want to allow the sage worksheet processes to use that much ram. You could put ulimit -v 1000000 to limit RAM to 1GB in that account's .bashrc and .bash_profile (make sure to make those files not writeable by the worksheet process though...). In general, I don't know a simple way to find out which sage account launched a given process. lsof might give a hint. > had helpfully suggested to all the students in her class that they > found out how to use Sage or another package to find G. bases.

That sounds like a bug. Anyway, when you restart your notebook server, you may have to manually login to the sage worksheet process account and kill all processes. The Sage notebook server only ever kills processes it knows about, so if anything gets left around, it'll never kill them. > > John > > -- > To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to > sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel > URL: http://www.sagemath.org > -- William Stein Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
