Unfortunately this one doesn't seem to let me run commands with custom arguments, ie. the latest cpulimit at GitHub lets me do:

    cpulimit --limit 20 /usr/local/bin/myscript -a -b -c

But the one in ports seems to be limited to:

    cpulimit -P /usr/local/bin/myscript -l 20

Tried stuff like:

    cpulimit -P /usr/local/bin/myscript -l 20 -- -a -b -c

but to no avail.

Thanks,
O.D.
