I/O Flooding

[Rus Foster]

Hi All,
I'm trying to work out a good way of stopping one process flooding the
I/O. Basically I have a multuple user machine and would like to try to
stop one person taking it down...

Thanks

Rus

Hi!

You will basically use login.conf to put user in user classes (set via
chpass $USER) and then restrict the number of simultaneous processes as
the simple way to do it. You can also limit the total CPU time a user is
allowed to handle.

But then you'd also have to look for processes that are allowed to run
as root...
