A few odd questions:
How would I iterate over all the processes? While looking at processes, how do I determine if a process has IO privs? has mapped physical/kernel memory? is root or group root? is somewhat root? (EUID, UID, GID, ...) is real-time scheduled? is protected from SIGKILL? While looking at processes, how do I determine the number of unshared dirty pages? copies running?
I'm hoping it will not be too hard to at least put a small dent in the old out-of-VM problem. I hate it when the X server dies. BTW, X needs to be protected. As a user "startx" and "kill -9" can be used to completely mess up the Linux console. Even if it is running completely as root, Netscape and xv can be used to make the kernel kill X.
