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.
