Avoid linux out-of-memory application teardown
- by Eddie Parker
I'm finding that on occasion my Linux box runs out of memory and it starts tearing down random processes to deal with it.
I'm curious what administrators do to avoid this? Is the only real solution to up the amount of memory (will upping the swap alone help?), or is there better ways to set up the box with software to avoid this? (i.e., quotas, or some such?).
I'd appreciate some feedback. Cheers,
