No 'verynice' or 'ulimit' can do the job well. Most of these 'toys' can handle one process only and do not care about group of processes (belonging to one user for example). The only viable thing I have seen so far are the control groups mentioned below. But I have never seen anyone playing/experienced with those... Until this changes, the resource control in linux needs to be considered as immature, unfortunately.
