Hi Everyone:

I have a few users that are resources hogs with their perl scripts because they take so long to process sometimes. One client has a script that is always crashing one of our servers. I was wondering how to turn on the perl feature that causes scripts to time out after a certain amount of time. I remember when I had my personal site with communitech (now Interland -shivers-) they had perl scripts time out after 5 minutes. Does any one know how to make this happen? Any help is greatly appreciated!
 
Try the Process Resource Manager from R-fx Networks Here . I have not tried it yet, but it should kill any process that exceeds a certain level.
