shell limit might not be a solution since you can fork a child process
without having a shell. process number control might be an option. (not
sure if that's available for linux). as far as CPU cycle control, I doubt
it's possible. (besides using nice and renice)....on AIX, I can't find a
way to control CPU usage. maybe there is a way under linux..
setting your ulimit might help in some cases....
