I feel stupid asking this, but what resource limits *do* work, and how can user resource limits be imposed at the system level? I've been looking at the bash man pages -- there's no more specific resource utilization interface, is there? My preference would be to be able to limit memory utilization. *Some* form of CPU throttle could also be useful under some circumstances. -- Karsten M.
