At last, I found out some messages in my /var/log/messages which solved
the mystery that I had reported some weeks ago, about processes being
killed for no ...apparent reason on my system:
Jan 20 23:38:11 postmortem kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation
failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)
Jan 20 23:38:11 postmortem kernel: VM: killing process cron
Jan 20 23:38:15 postmortem kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation
failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)
Jan 20 23:38:16 postmortem kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation
failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)
Jan 20 23:38:16 postmortem kernel: VM: killing process tor
Jan 20 23:38:21 postmortem kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation
failed (gfp=0x1f0/0)
Jan 20 23:38:23 postmortem kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation
failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)
Jan 20 23:38:23 postmortem kernel: VM: killing process proftpd
Jan 20 23:38:28 postmortem kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation
failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)
Jan 20 23:38:28 postmortem kernel: VM: killing process tor
Tor blackholes all my memory... et voila!
So, does anybody know how to use this cryptic shell command 'ulimit' so
that I can set a limit to the amount of memory that tor can take?
Any help appreciated...
