Oracle Talks Up Its Adaptived Daemon For Linux Systems

([Oracle] 3 Hours Ago Adaptived)


Adaptived is a cause-and-effect daemon developed by Oracle that ties into their work on adaptive memory management (adaptivemm) for proactive memory handling and the OOMD out-of-memory daemon.

In a new blog post, Oracle Linux "introduces" Adaptived although it's been open-source for a while: Adaptived 1.0 was tagged back in November and Adaptived 1.0.1 in February. Adaptived is also already available from within their RHEL-derivative, Oracle Linux.

Adaptived makes it easy to construct custom rules to automate tasks / resource management / kill processes based on system behavior. Plus there are multiple built-in causes and effects rules.

Those wanting to learn more about Adaptived can do so via [1]this Oracle Linux blog post . The Adaptived code is open-source and can be found via [2]GitHub .

The Blue Screen Of Advocacy

The Federal Bureau of Investigation & Privacy Violations has issued a
national advisory warning computer stores to be on the lookout for the
"Bluescreen Bandits". These extreme Linux zealots go from store to store
and from computer to computer typing in "C:\CON\CON" and causing the demo
machines to crash and display the Blue Screen Of Death.

Efforts to apprehend the bandits have so far been unsuccessful. The
outlaws were caught on tape at a CompUSSR location in Southern California,
but in an ironic twist, the surveillance system bluescreened just before
the penguinistas came into clear view.

"We don't have many clues. It's not clear whether a small group is behind
the bluescreen vandalism, or whether hundreds or even thousands of geek
zealots are involved," said the manager of a Capacitor City store.

The manager has good reason to be upset. The bluescreen raid was the top
story in the local newspaper and quickly became a hot topic of discussion.
As a result, the local school board halted its controversial plans to
migrate their computers from Macs to PCs.
