proc-killer is a daemon designed to automatically monitor and terminate long-running processes that match specified users or command-line regular expressions. It is optimized for resource management and ensuring stability in shared server environments.

• Cross-Platform Support
  Works on both Linux and FreeBSD.

• Flexible Configuration
  Managed via environment variables and configuration files (EnvironmentFile).

• Per-User Time Limits
  Define custom execution time limits for specific users.

• Blacklisting
  Kill processes automatically if their command line matches regex patterns.

• Whitelisting
  Processes in the allow list are exempt from time limits.

• Graceful Termination
  Sends SIGTERM first, followed by SIGKILL after a grace period if necessary.

• Real-time Config Reload
  Reload configuration on the fly by sending SIGHUP.

• Detailed Logging
  All actions are logged via syslog (facility: DAEMON).

proc-killer requires the regex library.

Linux:

gcc -O2 -Wall -o proc_killer proc_killer.c -lregex

***FreeBSD:***
cc -O2 -Wall -o proc_killer proc_killer.c -lregex
