| Autonice is a simple perl-script intended for use on multiuser-systems. The script regurlarly surveys any cpu-consuming processes on the system, and if any proces has been using more than a given amount of cpu-time (ie. half an hour) the process is reniced, and a mail is sent to the user. Autonice is known to run on Red Hat 4.1 and 5.x systems, both Intel and Alpha. As the script is quite simple it should run on any system using a crontab file and the /proc file-system and having perl installed. |
