Is there a security framework or general tool that can be used to ensure that a certain process started at boot in Linux cannot be terminated by any user or other process, including the root user?

In short: no. The root user can do anything without restriction. Even init can be killed by root (which brings the system down.)

I see. I was pretty sure that there were security frameworks out there that limited even what the root user was able to do. Thanks for the response. – H.G. Apr 09 '11 at 18:38
