Dear managers...

one of our user executed his binary file as his part of developement. but
the process started to run in loop.i means the same process repeatedly
running as 500 times. even if i killed the process it has got grownup. so
finally swap space went full and no one was allowed to login the server
except root. i tried to delete /tmp (some files to freeup). but i couldn't
get sucess. so i rebooted the server. in future i should avoid this kind of
problem .

is there any way to handle this kind of critical situation?
Is there any command to kill particular user login session and kill all his
process at same time?

your help will be valuable.

thanks in advance
Selvi
