[Wrapper-user] Disable OOM killer for process?

[Casey J. <cas...@jo...>]

Hi all,

We are having an issue where the out of memory killer is killing out
process due to the out of the box overcommit memory settings on CentOS.

After researching this quite a bit, I think the best thing to do is to tell
the OOM killer to never kill the process, as described here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-dev/oom-killer-1911807.html

To do this, we need to execute the following command after startup:

echo -17 > /proc/{pid}/oom_adj


I was thinking this could be done as part of the *.sh script that gets
executed via the java service wrapper, but I am not sure exactly how to do
this (mainly where in this script I can put the valid logic). I am hoping
someone might have done this before that could help.

Thanks!
