Hello, I run a shell company that recently started up and runs strictly on FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE. I have, obviously, configured the login.conf to limit users mainly on memory and file descriptor usage. I however have the problem where certain procs eat up 99% of CPU when they loop and screw up. This seems to be of no fault to the user, mainly of the code. I find that BNC and Eggdrops are specially susceptable to this happening. What this ends up doing, is shooting my load averages very high and generally slowing down the system. I see that I can limit cputime and so on, but can I limit the % of cpu a user can user? I do not mean to do this to be restrictive, simply to make a hard cap so a user's messed up proccess cannot overload my CPU. Thank you in advance for your help, You guys have been amazing with FreeBSD help. People often take the list's help for granted, not enough let you know they appreciate it, I like to let you know.
