Set up TTL on process
Is there a way to setup the TTL (Time To Live) on a process. We have many ssh processes that seem to just stack up. These processes do not need a static connection all the time and it might cause problems on our servers. Does anybody know how to setup the TTL on a process?

There is "ulimit -t" but it uses CPU time, not clock time. Using it is however likely a wrong approach. You might first try understanding why these ssh processes do stack up in the first place.

I'm new to Solaris, how do I setup the "ulimit -t"?

"ulimit -t" is not Solaris specific. You set it that way:

Code:
$ ulimit -t 60

That would mean the process cannot exceed 1 minute of CPU time.

Note that it affects the shell where you set it and all its children processes.

This would affect all processes? Is there a way to just affect one process?

I didn't wrote that would affect all processes, only the shell where you set it and its own children processes. Another clarification: the limit is per process, not shared.

I'm a little confused. I need to set the value for just ssh processes in the shell. How would I do that?
