Package: cpulimit Version: 1.1-13 Severity: wishlist On archived bug #374838 ( http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=374838 ) someone wanted to pass arguments to the command run by cpulimit.
I've found there is a simple way which works for many commands which run from cron. Because cpulimit waits for the command to exit, you can run the command in the background. Like in this example which prevents the fans of my computer to start running ones a week: /usr/sbin/update-apt-xapian-index --quiet & cpulimit -l 30 -p $! > /dev/null 2>&1 In this example $! is the PID of the last run command. Obviously pressing Control-C when such a command is run from the command line would only kill cpulimit so that is why I suggested it for cron only. Hope this is helpful. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
