Hmmm, wouldn't it be nice to make this all configurable? Like; have some list of PIDs that can be killed? I would hate it the daemon that checks my UPS would get killed... (that deamon brings the machine down safely when the UPS' batteries get emptied). Would be something like:
int *dont_kill_pid, ndont_kill_pid; // initialize with at least pid '1' and n=1
for_each_task(p) { int loop; for(loop=ndont_kill_pid-1; loop>=0; loop--) { if (dont_kill_pid[loop] == p->pid) break; } if (p->pid && !(loop>=0)) { int points = badness(p); if (points > maxpoints) { chosen = p;
