Change Details

To have a task to link against, I started making a script to do weighted attacks against processes that are operating outside of recommended uses for the bastions. So far, it gathers the older processes that are running (configurable how old we need), uses the age as a weight and then selects a number of them at random to kill. This was an effort to allow things to sometimes finish if it is just a long-running action that is reasonable but to make it not-so-good. That way people are more likely to use the job grid or k8s while we can improve services overall on the bastions for legitimate uses.

This may also allow relieving some of the trouble caused by using such tight limits on highly shared servers (T218338)
