On many occasions already, we've had servers hanging because of "/tmp: File
system full, swap space limit exceeded" conditions which is mostly due to
wayward processes spawning so many processes. Sometimes, an ill-written
script that spawns itself infinitely. The only way to get out of these
situations is a power-off and a hard boot of the server.
My Question: Are there any best practices out there that would prevent the
server from hanging or "bullet-proof" the system from such scenarios so that
a SysAdmin can still get in? Would Solaris Resource Manager help?
Thanks.
NELSON
