In my experience these process accounting and quota systems are extremely cludgy and create a very large overhead for the administrators and are generally not worth the effort. I would suggest a wrapper script or even a simple company policy detailing what hours certain programs can be run, or maybe even get this user a dedicated system is he/she is important enough. :P

This limit may need to be higher. Some quick poking around on my system shows that a process limit lower than about 10-15 *above* the desired amount will prevent things from running properly. I can't seem to find any documentation as to why this is, though.
If I have 41 processes running, and I set a ulimit in a single xterm, any value below 55 will prevent ls from running. If anyone can shed some light into this behavior, I'd sure appreciate it.
In the meantime, you may want to just stick with the priority limit.
