I'm looking for a good tool to monitor for runaway cgi / perl scripts. Today I found 10 instances of a specific script that were each running for over an hour of cpu time and taking 100% of the cpu. I'm looking for the best way to monitor and kill user cgi scripts that have taken more than 10 minutes for cpu time for example.
csf goes some way to doing that by checking processes running under a user account and if they breach specified resource limits you can also have them killed.
