# This script will keep checking load, and log it.
# Once the log hits the high load, its time to shutdown services and recall
# memory, this way we avoid running into a kernel panic.
# If we had DDOS attack, as services are down, the server won't be killed
# Once the attack ends, the load will come down, and the services will load up 
# again
#
# The script will be modified later on to use functions, but not for now.
############################To Set Up###########################################
#
# To set this script up, you'll need to add it to a cronjob to run on boot
# Most linux distros will allow a param <a href="https://twitter.com/reboot" class="twitter-atreply ext">@reboot<span class="ext"><span class="element-invisible"> (link is external)</span></span></a> /(path)/servermon.sh
# So... crontab -e
# At the bottom add: <a href="https://twitter.com/reboot" class="twitter-atreply ext">@reboot<span class="ext"><span class="element-invisible"> (link is external)</span></span></a> /(path)/servermon.sh
# REMEMBER TO ADD EXECUTABLE BIT TO THE FILE (777 Permissions)
