Running With Forks
,----[ Quote ]
| On a Windows computer, there is no configurable limit to the number of
| processes you can run. So it is relatively trivial to create a batch file to
| launch the same application in an infinite loop until the system is unusable.
| Some Windows services provide protection, in particular IIS can be configured
| to restrict total number of threads and CPU being consumed. However, this is
| not system-wide and certainly leaves the door open for trojan applications
| that may want to take your computer away from you.
|
| UNIX operating systems, however, have the concept of ULIMIT. This facility
| has evolved, and while most distributions don’t bother to configure any
| limits they are easily setup and can serve as a protective barrier between
| you and a poorly written application.
