I've got a situation where I want to simulate a server process getting starved for cpu/paging to death/etc. I realize I could renice the process(s) and then create artificial loading on the machine, but is there any way to do this more effectively?
I.e. is there some hack I could use to tell a particular set of processes that they get like 0.05% of the cpu time, even during idle?
The idea is to simulate a server that has gone south, but still be able to do monitoring/debug/analysis on that server to see what happens. During this happening in a real situation, you'd be unable to monitor on the box, cause it would be close to dead.
