Preventing OOM kills - Mailing list pgsql-general

PG tends to be picked on by the Linux OOM killer, so lately we've been
forcing the OOM killer to kill other processes first with this script:

while true; do
  for i in `pgrep postgres`; do
    echo -17 > /proc/$i/oom_adj
  done
  sleep 60
done

Is there a Better Way?  Thanks in advance.
