[SOLVED] Unstoppable infinite loop

Fixit7 · 08-15-2015, 05:26 PM

I know that Ctrl Z can stop this.

Is there a way to make this infinite loop unstoppable other that a reboot ?

Code:

while :
    do
        command
done

I found some code.

Is there a way to limit the number of processes available for a Puppy user.

You can take same measures to ensure that your Linux users would not exploit fork bomb. Fork bomb is not a bug nor weakness of Linux system. The responsibility is in hands of systems administrators to limit number of processes available for a user by editing /etc/security/limits.conf file. To limit username forkbomb to only 50 processes add following line:

forkbomb hard nproc 50
