Runaway processes killed (Really need help)

Micz · #1 (**permalink**) 10-28-2003

I got about more than 300 emails from root with the subject "Runaway processes killed" saying that "13146 12737 97.7 6 bash" . So what should I do? Any help would be appreciate

Which are you concerned about - what to do with over 300 emails or with something killing off processes?

Email - delete it.

As far as the processes being killed off - start with who sent the email - more than likely, it is from the user id that did the killing (presumed root). Check root's crontab for scripts that run quite often or check your OS /etc/inittab file (post your OS for more help).

Is there any more aggressive killing in the runaway
process killing script that can stop the root to send these email to me ???

I'm using Redhat 7.2
