Extension to use an external scripting language, Lua.

Since an infinite loop can be achieved by Lua, script_monitoring.sh run by crond will kill all Lua processes running longer than 10 seconds.

For security, Lua's io, debug, package, os library are nullified. Also, the program halts when it finds 'dofile'.

Requirements

• lua
