My nephew was aimlessly typing into his gnome-terminal (logged into his account on my computer) and accidentally caused my Mint desktop to almost freeze. I told him try it on my Debian Squeeze desktop feeling pretty confident I'd be able to break out of it. It started causing a slow down as my RAM was getting used up and swap partition getting full.
So I was able to prevent things from going to far, but wanted to replicate what he did so I'd know the exact cause.
Code:
echo I like applesauce!
Hit enter. Then held the "!" key down so it would fill up about three lines and then hit enter. Then press the up arrow, hit enter again. It seems to increase the command exponentially, so it only takes a few times of hitting the up arrow and hitting enter before your shell is inundated.
Had some slowdown afterward anytime I opened a new shell or logged out because my ~/.bash_history was 384 megabytes, apparently. On Mint, I couldn't even move the mouse until I was able to kill the process through ssh (took a minute to connect over the LAN, usually instantaneous).
This happened on
GNU bash, version 4.1.5(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
GNU bash, version 4.2.20(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
Anyway to build bash and configure it to limit the length of the command line?
Here's a sample:
