Summary : Oom-kill Out Of Memory Killer
Description :

consumption reaches the configurable limit, it finds out and
kills the most consuming process or the fastest growing one and
disposes of it.
/etc/logrotate.d/oom_kill
/etc/oom_kill.conf
/etc/rc.d/init.d/oom_kill
/usr/lib/oom_kill/bin/conf.py

/usr/share/doc/oom_kill-1.0.2
