Along the lines of "don't let it happen to begin with", is this type of thing one reason people recommend multi-processor machines for servers? I'm under the impression that if one process goes totally bezerk and overcomes a processor, the rest of the processes will be assigned to the remaining processor and life can continue on. Is that a naive understanding of SMP? Does SMP really improve the situation with a hosed system like that? --Jeremy -- /=====================================================================\ | Jeremy Portzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \=====================================================================/
