Deadlock under linux kernel 2.4.20 with a simple script

[jyoti100in]

Sir ,
I have written a script that calls few programme to run on terminal which are written in 'C' language under GCC compiler ,all those progs are typically use infinte loop and forking of proccesses that hang down the machine with (Red hat 9 .kernel ver:2.4.20) with 512 MB RAM & Pentium 4 HT proccessor . The apache & Samba is running in the machine .
Suggetst me sir , that How could i control over such malicious prog execution to stop others programmers to do so on the machine .
The Programme CODE is given below & kindly check it out ,SEnd me solution ,
Its an URGENT


//THE CODE IS AS FOLLOWS :

// THIS SCRIPT RUN IN USER TERMINAL
//THE MAIN SCRIPT THAT CALLS OTHER PROGS
#!/bin/bash
touch overload.data
while true
do
nohup ./fork.o&
nohup ./loop.o&
nohup ./intr.o&
yes "the infinite justice" > overload.data
done



//THE FIRST PROG IT CALLS "./fork.o"
#include<stdio.h>
#include<sys/types.h>

int main()
{
while(1)
{
if(fork()==0)
{
printf("%d",getpid());
execv("/usr/bin/date");
}

}
return 0;
}


//THE SECOND PROG "./loop.o"
#loop.c
#include<stdio.h>
#include<sys/types.h>

int main()
{
int i=0;
while (1)
{
i++;
}
return 0;
}



//THE THIRD PROG "./intr.c"
#intr.c
#include<stdio.h>
#include<signal.h>
#include<sys/types.h>

int main()
{
signal(SIGINT,SIG_IGN);
while(1)
{
execv("/usr/bin/date");
}
return 0;
}

THESE PROGS ARE COMPILED UNDER "gcc " ver: 3.2.2 "

I don't think you can prevent the scenario you've set up. You could try setting your users' time ulimit to prevent too much CPU. man ulimit for details.

BTW, you're not creating a deadlock situation, you're just exhausting the system's resources.
