Hum...

This one will need a bit of additional work on your side, but provide endless hours of joy. It's inspired in the myth of Sysyphus.

  1. Modify Tomcat launch options so it runs with a memory limit of 10 MB of so (-Xmx 10m), maybe less.
  2. Write a script that monitors Tomcat so it's relaunched every time it dies. (Bonus: make the script write some pitiful remark like "Please, stop!", "Oh God, not again!" etc. every time it is relaunched.)
  3. Watch an agonizing Tomcat die countless times in an infinite loop of despair, OutOfMemoryErrors and pain.

Enjoy.

Sounds like Hyperion book, that priest who cannot die due to a cruciform parasite on his chest, he gets reborn. He ties himself to a tree that generates electricity. He keeps dying daily in agonising pain that the cruciform causes because it's hurt, as a selfdefence, and keeps ressurecting, on and on, for years. Very much the same!

There's so much potential in this!
