[cobalt-users] CPU overload.... URGENT SOLUTION ANYONE?

["Annicke" <Annicke@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

This is the situation....

A user installed metasearch from http://www.done-right.net
This runs a cgi called metasearch.cgi....
Most of the time everything runs fine but about 10 times a day the script
keeps on running and takes all CPU....

Example:

17677 wm-zoek   13   0  2988 2988   992 R       0 94.6  2.3  26:21
metasearch.cgi

running 26 minutes and taking up 94.6 % CPU.....

Now I always kill it by hand which is not the sollution....

So my question, how to solve it, can I a/ set a max time on CGI scripts
somewhere or b/ automaticly kill it with a script.....

The suggested bgcheck is a great program for killing scripts from users that
are running to much simultaniously but doesn't work in this case where only
one script is running  for that user....

Hope someone can help me....

Thanks anyway!

Nicky
