Re: Limit Process's CPU utilization

If you want to limit the total amount of CPU time used, the shell can do that; see ulimit (or limit if using the C shell). See man page for ulimit or csh.

For a percentage of time, you might have to use class scheduling. See the class_scheduling man page.

Another possibility: if you have a multi-CPU system, you can restrict the process to a single processor or a set of processors, which effectively limits its share of the total available CPU power. See the man page for runon.
