softlimit 1 user commands djbwares softlimit runs another program with new resource limits. softlimit opts child opts is a series of getopt-style options. child consists of one or more arguments. softlimit sets soft resource limits as specified by opts. It then runs child. In each of the following opts, n may be =, indicating that the soft limit should be set equal to the hard limit. -m n Same as -d n -s n -l n -a n. -d n Limit the data segment per process to n bytes. -s n Limit the stack segment per process to n bytes. -l n Limit the locked physical pages per process to n bytes. This option has no effect on some operating systems. -a n Limit the total of all segments per process to n bytes. This option has no effect on some operating systems. -o n Limit the number of open file descriptors per process to n. This option has no effect on some operating systems. -p n Limit the number of processes per uid to n. -f n Limit output file sizes to n bytes. -c n Limit core file sizes to n bytes. -r n Limit the resident set size to n bytes. This limit is not enforced unless physical memory is full. -t n Limit the CPU time to n seconds. This limit is not enforced except that the process receives a SIGXCPU signal after n seconds. supervise1 svc1 svok1 svstat1 svscanboot1 svscan1 readproctitle1 fghack1 pgrphack1 multilog1 tai64n1 tai64nlocal1 setuidgid1 envuidgid1 envdir1 setlock1 Original code and documentation by Daniel J.
