#Linux #Sysadmin question.
Is it possible to limit the amount of RAM a user can use?
Is it possible to kill processes that are trying to use more than a specified amount?
I have a shared machine, and a chrome instance keeps using all the RAM, filling the swap and causing the machine to grind to a halt.
