My system has a number of things that go on automatically (a number of
periodic entries in the crontab, a mail sorter,....).  Things go real
nicely under a normal load.  But when the system starts getting REAL busy,
they have a tendency overflow the proc table.  I would like some process
that can check to see how busy the system is and "shut off" (rename files
that trigger) the processes.  Any suggestions?
