On my HP-UX,

On SuSE Linux this is built into the kernel; they call it OOM killer. I call it amok runner.

KILL(2) System Calls Manual KILL(2)
NAME
kill - send signal to a process
SYNOPSIS
kill(pid, sig);
DESCRIPTION
Kill sends the signal sig to the process specified by the process number in r0. See signal(2) for a list of signals.
The sending and receiving processes must have the same effective user ID, otherwise this call is restricted to the super-user.
If the process number is 0, the signal is sent to all other processes in the sender's process group; see tty(4).
If the process number is -1, and the user is the super-user, the signal is broadcast universally except to processes 0 and 1, the scheduler
and initialization processes, see init(8).
Processes may send signals to themselves.
SEE ALSO
signal(2), kill(1)
DIAGNOSTICS
Zero is returned if the process is killed; -1 is returned if the process does not have the same effective user ID and the user is not
super-user, or if the process does not exist.
ASSEMBLER
(kill = 37.)
(process number in r0)
sys kill; sig
