Limit the CPU usage of a certain application in Linux You can do this by installing cpulimit. You can limit a certain running application either by name or by process ID:
cpulimit -e firefox -l 30 This won’t let Firefox go beyond a 30% CPU usage limit. If you’d rather go by process, you can do it like this: cpulimit -p 3493 -l 40 -- Regards, Tha.Suresh Kanchi Linux User Group Rocks !!!! http://kanchilug.wordpress.com My experiences with Linux are here, http://thasulinux.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
