BGPWatch is a Linux and BSD background process monitor written in Perl. It is useful for controlling how many processes each user has running , what processes they are running, and what they are allowed to run.
A new version of BGPWatch is written and being tested. The new version uses /proc instead of the output from ps for maintaining a list of processes. The most important thing about this change is that it has allowed me to close up a security issue ...
BGPWatch-2.3.1 is finally released after several weeks of running on one of my servers with no issues. There are no new features this time around, just a bunch of optimized code to do away with placeholder variables and temporary files.
Well, the new BGPWatch I announced some time ago has finally been installed on one of my production servers. I'll leave it running there for a few days to make sure it doesn't do anything crazy and then put it on here for all of you to use.
BGPWatch has undergone some significant changes. * Disk I/O has been reduced to only reading the config files on startup, rather than writing all user processes to disk and then reading those files again seconds (or less) later. * Multiple unnecessary ...
bgpwatch-2.3 has been released after running on a production box for around 2 months with no issues. I have added a test mode (defaults to on) which will just tell you which processes would have been killed rather than actually killing them. This ...
I put test mode into v2.3 last night and it seems to work as intended. I think this will be very helpful in ensuring that you've got bgpwatch configured how you want it before you let it start killing processes.
bgpwatch 2.3 is almost here, finally. I got around to writing code so that you can use full usernames in your config files instead of the username as it appears in the output of ps (which shortens longer names). This functionality is being tested by ...
You can now downloaded the correct 2.2.2 code that should actually work. Again, I'm sorry about taking so long to fix this. I have been inactive with this project and for some reason my 2.2.2 source that I run did not have the error in the code. Also, ...
