Description : simple program for controlling long-running, CPU-intensive jobs on a multi-user system
This is a simple program for controlling long-running, CPU-intensive jobs on a multi-user system. It will control your job, even after you've logged out of the system (barring any unusually mean killer programs installed on the system). It has some useful options for controlling jobs. For example, the configuration I use does the following:
1. If somebody other than me is logged into the console, disallow my job from running (suspend or kill it, as specified).
2. If somebody is logged onto the system anywhere else (i.e., via telnet or ssh or something) and has been on for under 1 hour, disallow my job.
3. Disallow my job whenever ``root'' logs on.
4. If the job is not disallowed, start/resume/continue it as appropriate.
