I'm wondering if it's possible to kill processes automatically (as a
cron-job?).
I've managed to setup Linux and Apache and now I tried to kill the machine
by executing several processes to find out, how the machine reacts. I wrote
a little perl script (cgi) that calls itself. My provider has the option
that a primary process (not a child-process via fork-- lol!) would be killed
after 6 seconds. That's -perhaps- to little time (especially for
search-engines!), but it would made sense! So, my problem is, how to make
the engine safe? Perhaps that it kills routines, called by "nobody" after 1
or 2 minutes! And what about child-processes or routines called by the
primary process (is this different?)?
What I found out is, that the machine can't be killed, so there's nothing
working any more! That's perhaps the difference to windows-machines?!! I
defined a cron-job that reboots the machine after one hour, which worked
fine. The machine (only 486er!) was stable after about five hours. There
where several messages about too little memory, but everything worked fine!
Thank's for any ideas!!!
