Limiting user process memory

[Sijo_1]

Hello everyone!
I have a problem with hpux 11i system. How can I limit the CPU and memory usage by the user processes. Can I define the maximum amount of memory (RAM) usage by the usage process, some of which consume too much of memory and thus leads to blockage of all resources for other users. I tried using ulimit but no luck
Thanks to all in advance

one of ulimit -m or ulimit -d should work - what exact problems do You experience?

Thanks for your response. I wanted to restrict a particular proceess occupying more than 20Mb of memory. I tried with ulimit -m 20000 but the process is taking more than 20mb of memory.

Any thoughts ?
