- update to 3.0: * Fix an important bug in LimitCPU when the program is monitoring both a program and its child processes via the "-m" flag. In the past, it was possible LimitCPU would fail to spawn new instances to monitor child processes if LimitCPU was not in the user's default path. In other words, if we were launched from /usr/local/bin and this directory was not in the default path, then child processes might not be monitored. And the failure would happen silently. * Now LimitCPU will try to do a better job of launching new monitors for child processes and it will print a warning about any errors when run in verbose mode.
- update to 2.9: * When counting CPU cycles (jiffies) we now use a "long" type instead of "int" to avoid running out of space when tracking on-running processes.
- update to 2.8: * Made exit message when child signal is caught only show up when in verbose mode. * Adjusted the way the VERSION value is assigned in the Makefile. CFLAGS was being overwritten by Debian's build process.
- update to 2.7: * Fixed compiler warnings regarding string lengths.
- update to 2.6: * Fixed indentation to avoid compiler warnings. No functional change. * Updated manual page to warn against using -m on a script.
- new upstream version 2.5 * Added some protection against causing a fork bomb when the throttled process is a parent to LimitCPU. - includes 2.4 * Introduced ability to watch children of the target process. This means forks of the process we are throttling can also be throttled, using the "-m" or "--monitor-forks" flags. - includes 2.3 * Applied patch to man page which fixes -s description. * Added --foreground, -f flag for launching target programs in the foreground. LimitCPU then waits for the target process to exit. Should be useful in scripts. - rebase cpulimit-2.2-do_not_forget_version.patch - cleanup with spec-cleaner
- new upstream version 2.2 + Escaped double-dashed in manual page to avoid warnings from Debian check tool. + Added -s --signal flag. This flag allows the user to specify an alternative signal to send a watched process when cpulimit terminates. By default we send SIGCONT. The -s flag can accept a number (1-35) or a written value such as SIGCONT, SIGSTOP, SIGINT, SIGTERM. - from version 2.1 + Added the --quiet (-q) flag to make limitcpu run silently + Make sure error messages are printed to stderr. + Placed source code in Subversion (svn) repository. Accessable using the SVN checkout command. For details, please see the README file. - from version 2.0 + Added the -- flag to make sure child processes run with command line flags would not confuse cpulimit. + Corrected output of child process name in verbose mode. - added cpulimit-2.2-do_not_forget_version.patch
- Updated to version 1.9: + Added --kill (-k) and --restore (-r) flags to allow target processes to be killed and restored rather than simply throttled. - Updates from version 1.8: + When displaying verbose output, cpulimit now redisplays the column headers every 20 lines. + Fixed limiting CPU usage on multicore machines when the desired usage limit is great than 100%.
- Upstream update to version 1.7: * Minor code cleanup. * Make sure we do not try to throttle our own process. * Added "tarball" option to the Makefile to assist in packaging. Moved version number to the makefile. * Added version information to CPUlimit's help screen. * Detect the number of CPU cores on the machine and cap the % we can limit. 1 CPU means we can limit processes 1-100%, 2 means 1-200%, 4 means 1-400%. * Removed extra priority changes. We now only bump our priority once, if we have access to do so. Also simplified priority increases so it's flexible rather than "all or nothing". * Since we now attempt to detect the number of CPUs available, we also give the user the ability to override our guess. The -c and --cpu flags have been added for this purpose. * Commands can be launched and throttled by appending commands to the end of CPUlimit's argument list. For example: cpulimit -l 25 firefox
