[Supervisor-users] monitoring subprocesses with memmon too

[Harald Friessnegger]

is there a way, or is there a plan to be able to monitor the memory usage of a 
process and all it's subprocesses using memmon?


varnish - for example - creates a subprocess when starting up and nothing can 
be done to omit that (see 
http://projects.linpro.no/pipermail/varnish-misc/2009-March/002652.html)


would be great if memmon monitors memory usage of a process and all processes 
with it's id as ppid, sum up their memory usage and restarts the parent if 
the sum exceeds a certain limit.

is this technically possible?
if yes, is there a reason not to implement memmon that way?



thanks for your answers,
  fRiSi
