Perrin> By the way, did you look at Randal's throttle code? (Posted as Perrin> Stonehenge::Throttle, I believe.) That's what I started with last Perrin> time I needed to do this. It worked well over NFS for a cluster. And I'm thinking about rewriting that using DBD::SQLite for the tracker, rather than my ad-hoc "use the filesystem as a database" code from before. Then, you could basically program it to block on any criterion you choose, like CPU seconds consumed in last 5 minutes, bytes transferred, number of hits, and spread that out by whatever divisions you wanted. It'd just be a matter of reducing the decision logic to a single number over a certain domain (requestor, resource, number) and then setting the blocking criterion (seconds, threshold). Maybe in the next few weeks or so. -- Randal L.
