Hi, In the past I have used cpulimit to limit the CPU percent used by a process. But I'm having dificulties. AME cpulimit -- limits the CPU usage of a process SYNOPSIS cpulimit [TARGET] [OPTIONS...] [ -- PROGRAM] DESCRIPTION TARGET must be exactly one of these: -p, --pid=N pid of the process -e, --exe=FILE name of the executable program file -P, --path=PATH absolute path name of the executable program file ... So I do: Isengard:~ # ps afxu | grep rsyncd root 10824 0.0 0.0 7432 812 pts/29 S+ 13:57 0:00 \_ grep --color=auto rsyncd root 4781 0.0 0.0 24584 760 ? Ss Aug01 0:00 /usr/sbin/rsyncd --daemon --no-detach root 8501 0.6 0.0 97452 4788 ? S 12:37 0:32 \_ /usr/sbin/rsyncd --daemon --no-detach root 8502 88.8 0.0 153260 5968 ? R 12:37 70:42 \_ /usr/sbin/rsyncd --daemon --no-detach Isengard:~ # cpulimit -e rsyncd -l 90 Warning: no target process found. Waiting for it... ^CExiting... Isengard:~ # cpulimit -p 8502 -l 90 Process 8502 detected Why doesn't it act on the process by name "rsyncd"? It is obviously in the list of processes. And I'm root. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
