Thanks. But do you know how to limit memory and CPU for a user or a group of users and not only a process. I know that you can use limit.conf, but this limits applies to single processes of a user or a group, but it does not limit how much memory a single user can use in total.

Hi All,

My client is a global fast-growing IT automation software company based in Milpitas. They are currently seeking an experienced Linux developer with C++ programming knowledge to help grow their engineering team. The environment is very collaborative and dynamic – no top down management styles here. Competitive comp and performance-based bonus package!

Here is a job description. If you have the skill set and you are interested in hearing more about this opportunity, please email me your updated resume.

Responsibilities:
• As a senior member of the engineering team, you will work closely with small development team making design decisions for a Linux version of our Agent.
• Assume a lead role in designing, coding, and testing an Agent ported to the Linux platform. The Agent communicates via TCP/IP to a remote Windows server hosting our Server management service. The server sends down command primitives to the Agent to perform rudimentary tasks such as writing a file, getting a file, executing a file, auditing the hardware and software on the PC, prompting a user with question and waiting for a response, rebooting, monitoring resources, and more. These rudimentary commands are combined to perform management tasks, such as remote controlling the PC, deploying patches, monitoring the resource utilization of the PC, installing programs, enforcing policies, and more.
• Design and implement an Agent installation package and update package for the Linux platform.
• Contribute to the definition of product features to the Agent for ongoing enhancements to the management of Linux computer systems.
• Provide 2nd tier support for the Linux Agent and its components
• Features are chosen to fit our product releases and upgrades which occur every 4 to 6 months. Typical features are designed, implemented, and tested in periods lasting as short as days to a month depending on the scope. Daily design decisions must always be cognizant of robustness, scalability, minimal resource utilization, and backwards compatibility as the Agent resides on every managed PC deployed.
Requirements:
• 10+ years software development experience in Linux/UNIX with 5+ years experience specifically with Linux development across various distributions (Ubuntu, RedHat, Debian, SUSE,etc).
• Expertise in the following areas
o Client-server, multi-threaded Linux application development
o Development of system level services on the Linux
o C/C++ Code development
o TCP/IP communications
o Inter-process communications
o Working knowledge of Linux OS internals
o Development of an application installer on the Linux platform
• BS in Computer Science
• The following are preferred skills and qualifications, but not required
o Cross platform code development between Windows and Linux environments
o Cross platform code development between Mac OS X and Linux environments
o Cross platform code development between UNIX (Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, etc) and Linux environments
o Driver development on Linux
