Allan Jude: > someapp_protect=YES (and maybe syslogd has this enabled by default in /etc/defaults/rc.conf) and it prefixes the start command with protect -i. Should all children inherit it? One of the things that the Linux OOM Killer does is motivated by the idea that children processes are "more killable" than the main service processes that spawned them; on the presumption that the arrangement is going to be like an SSH daemon spawning per-connection children, in the commonest case.
