General SBox Info:
SBox is a security and resource-control enhancement used on Globat servers. SBox affords you creativity and flexibility in scripts you write or install on your web space while protecting the resources of the server for the rest of our customers and their web site visitors. Sbox prevents buggy or poorly coded scripts from interfering with other customers' websites on our shared servers.
SBox applies to all scripts run on a Globat web hosting server, including PHP, Perl, and Python.
Advantages:
- Runs scripts as your user.
- Allows your scripts to read and write to your files without needing to be
readable by other users on the system.
Helps protect you from accidentally running a script that another
user on the system has modified:
- 1. By preventing a script that others can write to from executing.
- 2. By preventing a script in a directory that others can write to from
executing.
Disadvantages:
- SBox has several system limitations, designed to prevent a single user from
using more than their fair share of the shared system resources:
- Max CPU seconds: 30
- Max RAM usage: 16M
- Max Child processes: 24
- Max Open files: 96
