How can I limit cpu/core and memory usage by user?

Tks,

* soft  sigpending  6000

And found the following resource that will be more fair to other users regarding CPU consumption:

Looks like it can be done with cgroups, but i have never configured those.

Have a look at the limits.conf manpage. You can limit CPU and memory usage using limits.conf hard values.

Hi Peasant,
You're right. I've configured the /etc/cgconfig.conf and it works properly !

Tks all !
