Hello all,
the resources on the TS are free, but limited; so we all have to use the resources fair. Some limits (like memory-usage) are set and controlled by the system, but others are not and it is in the responsibility of every single user to make sure to not mis- or overuse resources. So it is for example NOT a good idea to run 200 processes in parallel to get more CPU-resources than you would normally get. And it is not a good idea to use a amount of memory which is just below the slayer-daemon-limit without any purpose.
Sincerely, DaB.
P.S: It is totally in the rules to disable a user-account because of resource- misusing.

Maybe we can handle this in a similar way we handle home directory storage. There is a default limit that should be fine for most users.
It would only be reached if: * The user might accidentally run a proces that is taking more than he expected. The limit would kill the problem before it runs out of hand. * The user might be misbehaving. The limit is working against that. * The user might be hosting a tool that naturally takes more space. He requests the additional space and explains why he needs it. In most cases this will be granted without any problems.
Sounds like a good policy for CPU/RAM as well. Although I suppose it isn't as easy to enforce.
Although we can in SGE, right ?
