softlimit(8)                System Manager's Manual               softlimit(8)

NAME
       softlimit - runs another program with new resource limits.

SYNOPSIS
       softlimit [ opts ] child

DESCRIPTION
       opts  is  a  series  of getopt-style options.  child consists of one or
       more arguments.

       softlimit sets soft resource limits as specified by opts.  It then runs
       child.

OPTIONS
       In  each  of  the  following opts, n may be =, indicating that the soft
       limit should be set equal to the hard limit.

       opts controlling memory use:

       -m n   Same as -d n -s n -l n -a n.

       -d n   Limit the data segment per process to n bytes.

       -s n   Limit the stack segment per process to n bytes.

       -l n   Limit the locked physical pages per process to n bytes. This op-
              tion has no effect on some operating systems.

       -a n   Limit the total of all segments per process to n bytes. This op-
              tion has no effect on some operating systems.

       -o n   Limit the number of open file  descriptors  per  process  to  n.
              This option has no effect on some operating systems.

       -p n   Limit the number of processes per uid to n.

       opts controlling file sizes:

       -f n   Limit output file sizes to n bytes.

       -c n   Limit core file sizes to n bytes.

       Efficiency opts:

       -r n   Limit  the  resident  set size to n bytes. This limit is not en-
              forced unless physical memory is full.

       -t n   Limit the CPU time to n seconds. This limit is not enforced  ex-
              cept that the process receives a SIGXCPU signal after n seconds.
