Re: [Jailkit-users] Prevent Fork Bombs on Jailed Python Interpreter

This is usually done by setting values in limits.conf (to be found in /etc 
or /etc/security). The file comes with good comments and a few examples. So 
there is some basis there to work from.
Remember that a normal shell session via jailkit already uses a few 
processes, so don't go setting the number too strictly. On the other hand, 
memory should probably be guarded more closely. 

Cheers,
