Vigilant

Vigilant keeps watch over your processes and kills them if they misbehave.

Examples:

# limit memory of process to 5mb
:ok = Vigilant.limit_memory(self(), 5)

# equivalent to

:ok = Vigilant.limit_memory(5)

# enforce a timeout
Vigilant.enforce_timeout(fn ->
  Process.sleep(10000000000)
end, 1000, fn ->
  Logger.debug("process killed because timeout was exceeded")
end)
