Hello Chris, Wednesday, March 26, 2003, 4:36:41 PM, you textually orated:
C> I'd love to just kill the "Author.exe" process sucking up all the CPU C> cycles when the load gets to 5+ level (for example), to automatically C> stop her unnecessary imact on the server. Since the PID changes all the C> time, it would need to kill the process by name (Author.exe) or look up C> the PID dynamically. That's the only process that ever gets the server C> above 2.00 CPU levels so it's pretty safe to assume that's what's sucking C> up the cycles. Don't know that much about the FP extensions, but... Have you tried adding... alias Author.exe='nice +19 /path/to/Author.exe' to the user who runs that process' ~/.bashrc ? (I don't know if it is your webserver or not) That should slow it down a bit. Alternatively, if they are run by the user you have a problem with, you could also use /etc/security/limits.conf to tone down just their processes allowing other users , who behave properly, to still get it to work full speed. Hope that helps. Have fun, -- _________________________________________________________________ Brian Ashe CTO [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dee-Web Software Services, LLC. http://www.dee-web.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
