Hi, I need a way to set a hard limit on processor usage on the server. A user had spawned three processes, one on each processor (the fourth one got fried a long time ago), which kept them 90% busy. The result was that the server became to slow to even reply to ping packets, not to mention loss of DNS service.
ulimit, and /etc/security/limits.conf only allow you to set the amount of time spent on the CPU. I want to say something like "only x% on only y processors" if possible. Is there a way to do that? Will simply limiting processor usage help solve the problem we faced?
