Now, is it worth spending all that time awake if there is an automatic script that monitors your server for 24h/day?!

ProcessKill is a simple script that monitors current processes in a Linux system and kills the processes taking more than X% of CPU or Y% of RAM memory and running for more than Z minutes. This is specially useful for webhosting companies selling shared servers.

Now includes Absolute time kill: kills a process running for more than W minutes even if not taking CPU or MEM. Specially useful for processes that run for hours (non CPU or MEM intensive)

You can exclude processes or users processes from being killed.

Lot of customers can give their testimony about this script efectiveness.

Sounds like a nice script! :D

You should convince CPanel to pay you a couple grand for it and include it with their distribution! that would be sweet! :D

I think I may give it a try... I'll be in contact with you. ;)

What sort of discount are we looking at for 10 servers ?

(just out of interest) We can install across them all ourselves and dont really want to go spending $200 on such a simple script.

If it is such a simple script Matt....why don't you write one yourself...then it will cost you nothing! ;)

UH-Matt,

10 Servers is 30% off... so it would be $140.

Thank you.

Because its less of a headache to buy one. I didnt mean "simple" as a bad thing.. I just meant the concept.

I think he's trying to wear down the seller by calling his script "simple" in the hope that he may get it for a lower price. ;)

rasilva, is this script written in C or is it encrypted PHP or what?

i think you can make a wealth if you reduce the price for someting like $5 per server

i'm running 14 servers right now, i will think twice about spending $200 for such script because i'm already live without it .... but i can pay $70 so easy to get this function

good luck i'm really like this ideas

Not at all.. the concept is simple - i stick with that view. I still think its a fantastic script and will probably be going for an unlimited licence in the near future.

SHosts : I Think its more reasonable just to pay $200 for the existing one =)

tandem,

it's not C or PHP... it's shell script.

Thanks.

This is quite easy to do to tell you the truth.

Just run a cron tab on a script basically every x amount time that runs ps -aux then greps the results does some other work with results and if a proccess % cpu or mem is high enough kill the process(s).

ChickenSteak,

Did i say it was hard to do?! For people that find this obvious, i'm not asking them to buy it. But i'm sure there are people that this is not obvious.
