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, or -, indicating that both the  soft
     and hard limits should be reset to unlimited.

     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 option
	    has no effect on some operating systems.

     -a n   Limit the total of all segments per process to n bytes. This  option
	    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	enforced
	    unless physical memory is full.

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