on 7-18-2008 4:24 AM Dr R L Oswald spake the following:
What we would like to do on a server running CENTOS 4.6 is to restrict max cpu time for most interactive users but ensure that processes for system users such as root & special userids that provide services are kept as unlimited.Not posting in HTML might get you a larger audience. Some people ignore/can't read HTML postings on lists. Just a suggestion.The documentation for limits.conf is not very extensive but I think I am correct in assuming that resource limits specified in limits.conf only apply to processes that *login* to a system, rather than those kicked off at boot time as daemons?There does not seem to be any obvious way of specifying an unlimited value for a resource unlike the ulimit command ? Does anyone know a way of specifying unlimited in limits.conf ?Any suggestions
