-====== Memory - Disable the OOM Killer ======
-The Out of Memory (OOM) killer can be completely disabled with the following command.
-**WARNING**:  This is not recommended for production environments, because if an out-of-memory condition does present itself, there could be unexpected behavior depending on the available system resources and configuration.  This unexpected behavior could be anything from a kernel panic to a hang depending on the resources available to the kernel at the time of the OOM condition.
-<code bash>
-sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=2
-echo "vm.overcommit_memory=2" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
-</code>
-You can disable the OOM-killer by writing "1" to memory.oom_control file, as:
-<code bash>
-echo 1 > memory.oom_control
-</code>
