1 背景

实验室服务器经常有人提交大量任务，导致内存占满后系统卡死，不得不重启。通过使用earlyoom在内存耗尽前查杀大内存进程，避免系统崩溃。

2 做法

1、安装earlyoom

sudo apt install earlyoom

2、编辑配置文件

sudo vim /etc/default/earlyoom

将其中Available minimum memory部分修改为EARLYOOM_ARGS="-m 6,5 -s 100,100"，表示内存余量低于5%就查杀大内存进程，同时忽略swap的占用情况。

# Default settings for earlyoom. This file is sourced by /bin/sh from
# /etc/init.d/earlyoom or by systemd from earlyoom.service.

# Options to pass to earlyoom
EARLYOOM_ARGS="-r 3600"

# Examples:

# Print memory report every second instead of every minute
# EARLYOOM_ARGS="-r 1"

# Available minimum memory 5%
# EARLYOOM_ARGS="-m 5"
EARLYOOM_ARGS="-m 6,5 -s 100,100"
# Available minimum memory 15% and free minimum swap 5%
# EARLYOOM_ARGS="-m 15 -s 5"

# Avoid killing processes whose name matches this regexp
# EARLYOOM_ARGS="--avoid '(^|/)(init|X|sshd|firefox)$'"

# See more at `earlyoom -h'
3、重启服务

sudo systemctl restart earlyoom
