Re: Limit CPU usage of a process?

Are these commandline options or stuff you have to program into your apps? They also seem to be more geared towards giving different processes different priorities of which gets to use the highest CPU. This doesn't seem to be very helpful for us who are looking for a simple commandline option

Re: Limit CPU usage of a process?

There's https://man.openbsd.org/nice.1 You might be describing https://man.openbsd.org/setrlimit.2 or the ulimit shell builtin (ulimit -t). But you might not want what you are describing, if that is the case. -- Raul On Tue, May 29, 2018 at 2:35 PM, BergenBergen BergenBergen wrote: > Browser

Re: Limit CPU usage of a process?

Browser or not, how *does* one cap CPU resources though? I think it's a very interesting question, and I'm sorta baffled by the fact that the demand for this kinda thing hasn't been any higher. All the best, Murk On Tue, May 29, 2018 at 8:10 PM, Dumitru Mișu Moldovan wrote: > On 05/27/18

I'd much rather prefer a generic tool that could limit any process, rather than trying to come up with ways to strip down ones browser. FreeBSD has a cpulimit (https://github.com/opsengine/cpulimit/) port, and it would be nice if OpenBSD could too. I'm not skilled enough to make one, but I'd

Umatrix is a good javascript control extension. Some websites are even running bitcoin mining without asking your permission. Theft of electricity in my book.

ksh(1) has ulimit comand to limit process in certain way. just search for ulimit on the ksh man-page. On 27 May 2018 at 18:28, Luke A. Call wrote: > I had that problem but turning off javascript (as someone else said), > turning off images most of the time, and bookmarking

I had that problem but turning off javascript (as someone else said), turning off images most of the time, and bookmarking the tab group then closing as many tabs as I wasn't actually going to use soonest (especially any viewing PDF files), dropped it down to ~4%. On 05-27 12:07:16+0200,

Limit CPU usage of a process?

Is it possible to limit the CPU usage of a given process to, say, 20%? I'd like to slow down the web browser since it is draining my laptop's battery. With enough tabs open it's often consuming ~50% of CPU but not doing anything productive. Apparently with RLIMIT_CPU in setrlimit(2) the total CPU
