Hi Yayati ,
What is if the server load is more and the shell script which was supposed to alret get delayed alert for you.
One of the alternative can be as you can put a soft limit and hard limits on the user process see "ulimit" . "man bash" then search for "ulimit" also if u have root access then u can check with "/etc/security/limits.conf"
googlize on it :-)
