# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| cpulimit: cpulimit (Limit CPU Usage) cpulimit: cpulimit: cpulimit limits the CPU usage of a process (expressed in percentage, cpulimit: not in CPU time). It is useful to control batch jobs that can cpulimit: otherwise eat too many CPU cycles. The CPU usage limit is enforced cpulimit: by sending SIGSTOP and SIGCONT POSIX signals to processes. All cpulimit: child processes and threads of the specified process will share the cpulimit: same CPU usage limit. cpulimit: cpulimit: cpulimit:
