Self destruct processes #104

Closed jaredlockhart closed 7 years ago

jaredlockhart commented 7 years ago

We should self destruct a process in either

1) after a specified timeout (1 hour) 2) if parsing fails

This will ensure that we do not accidentally leak sensitive information in the memory state of a process.

jaredlockhart commented 7 years ago

This will be handled by ops using upstart automation as that is a simpler and more reliable approach than attempting to raise process.exit() within a timeout.

@jbuck : do you have a tracker for this?

jbuck commented 7 years ago

I put a link to the implementation in the bugzilla ticket
