### Running student submissions ### Running student submissions
- killing isolate Student submissions are executed inside sandboxing environment to prevent damage of host system and also to restrict amount of used resources. Now only the Isolate sandbox support is implemented in worker, but there is a possibility of easy extending list of supported sandboxes.
- sandboxing requirements
Isolated is executed in separate Linux process created by `fork` and `exec` system calls. Communication between processes is performed through unnamed pipe with standard input and output descriptors redirection. To prevent Isolate failure there is another safety guard -- whole sandbox is killed when it does not end in `(time + 300) * 1.2` seconds for `time` as original maximum time allowed for the task. However, Isolate should allways end itself in time, so this additional safety should never be used.
Sandbox in general has to be command line application taking parameters with arguments, standard input or file. Outputs should be written to file or standard output. There no other requirements, worker design is very versatile and can be adapted to different needs.
