Run chrome in its own memory-limited cgroup

README

Ugly hack to run chrome in a memory-limited cgroup so it does not kill your workstation
when it tries to consume all available memory.

Put this in /usr/local/bin/cchrome, add that to whatever menu system you are using.

You can verify it worked by running:
grep memory `ps ax | grep chrome | grep -v grep  | awk '{printf "/proc/%s/cgroup\n", $1}'`

This has only been tested on kubuntu desktop. Obviously, if you have not enabled
passwordless-sudo for yourself, create and chmod the cgroup directory from some
startup script!

cchrome

#!/bin/sh
sudo mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/chrome
sudo chmod -R a=rwX /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/chrome
echo 8G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/chrome/memory.limit_in_bytes
exec cgexec -g memory:chrome google-chrome

Line 4 works without sudo and tee?

UPD: Nevermind, chmod. :)
