You might want to look into the use of login classes to restrict the amount of CPU time/memory etc that a particular user/group uses. The only problem with that is that CPU usage is defined as being time-based and not percentage-based, so a process can execute with almost 100% CPU usage, but only for a short time...<br />

I know it's not RH specific, but it should give you enough info to make a start.<br />

hi,<br />
I am running a linux server (RH) to host some domains, using Apache 1.3.23.<br />
<br />
<br />
Some of my clients use CGI, and they make my server very high loading at peak hrs.<br />
<br />
Do you know any methods to limit the usage of CPU/MEM/resources of a particular user?<br />
(I use SUEXEC for CGI programs.)<br />

limit a user's resource usage
