Hi! There's this little program that can limit a processes cpu usage (percentage, not time). This is a very simple ebuild since the original "package" only consists of a single .c file (no configure, Makefile has only 6 lines, only depends on glibc, etc). I thought it is best installed in /usr/sbin/, because of its 'root'ish nature. ;) Homepage: http://marlon80.interfree.it/cpulimit/ Maybe it's interesting, what the debian maintainers made: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/cpulimit
Created attachment 91131 [details] cpulimit-1.1.ebuild
Created attachment 91132 [details] cpulimit.8 The debian guys also made a manual page, which is a good thing. I put it in the files directory.
This is now in the sunrise overlay. You can find it at: http://gentoo-sunrise.org/svn/reviewed/app-admin/cpulimit
I'm maintain this package. Committed to the official portage tree. Enjoy!
