And those business procs go down the BOFH that killed em

There are over 10,000 Linux sessions on the machine _at_
http://linux390.nop.org
1000's opon 1000's of compiles benches test suites going
all at once ...
As for resources
[root /root]# w
4:15am up 153 days, 11:44, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

root pts/1 fubar 4:15am 0.00s 0.04s 0.01s w
all of the 10's of 1000's of sessions have run un interrupted far
as we can tell

That my small "piece" of the mainframe .. 128m of ram and a portion
of one CPU.
Perhaps you refer to a bonehead oper who wouldnt know how
to set limits on the guests so that 1000's opon 1000s of of them
can suck all the cpu they are allowed and still be playing nicly
with all the others ..
I see a faint image of a red herring starting to appear.
