The system I work on has gotten awfully bogged down lately, although it's
better than the last couple weeks of classes. Some things we do include
regulating games based on load, and asking people not to run too many
background jobs that run forever, in hopes of giving everyone a fair slice
of pie. Sometimes people screw up though and we are forced to intercede on
their behalf and terminate their jobs.
For instance, there's this guy named root who always runs these big programs
USER PID %CPU %MEM SZ RSS TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
root 2 0.3 0.5 6528 0 ? D 8:46 pagedaemon
root 210 0.2 0.1 5 3 ? S 13:39 /etc/update
root 221 0.1 0.5 49 26 ? S 11:54 /etc/rwhod
root 0 0.1 0.1 0 0 ? D 1:28 swapper
root 78 0.1 1.0 230 55 ? S 3:57 /etc/named /etc/named.boot
root 225 0.0 0.8 60 42 ? S 0:46 /etc/inetd
root 1 0.0 0.9 63 48 ? S 2:05 init
This is really annoying. I've never even talked to this guy, and he's always
running the same programs. I mean, some of those things aren't too bad, but
I bet if I kill off that "pagedaemon" program things will really speed up! :-)
Anyone else ever have these problems?
O&*^!#@$ Hey, who turned off the lights? Oh, muffin queen, you really know
how to turn a hacker on!

There's root, his aggravating brother root2,and this f***ing encore jack*** who keeps shuting the system down so that he can hog the resources when the system comes back up. Cause of these jerk our systems the original $2 whore Right now root is running 75 programs. He isn't even logged on.
