Comment on User Process Limits Preventing Fork Bombs by Dag Wieers

Dag Wieers — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 14:55:24 +0000

On my RHEL system the correct syntax is:

ps h -Tu baduser | wc -l

The “h” is to avoid having a header, the “-T” is to make sure we include all threads and the “-u” is to filter by user. Alternatives are: “ps h -Lu baduser” or “ps hH -u baduser”.

The “ps -eLF -U baduser” offers me the total process list of all users, so beware !

Hi Guys, the documentation is right – cause it is the RHEL6 one. In RHEL6 resize2fs works with ext4, only on RHEL5 you have to use the resize4fs.
