The official GitHub repository was created in 2012. ### Adoptionsgeschichte cpulimit has remained packaged as a straightforward Unix-style utility for administrators and users who need to tame batch jobs. The input package metadata shows distribution through Homebrew and several Linux package managers. ### Wie es verwendet wird cpulimit controls CPU consumption by sending SIGSTOP and SIGCONT POSIX signals. The README notes that child processes and threads of the selected process share the configured CPU percentage, and documents simple make-based builds for Linux, OS X, and FreeBSD. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren The package is significant because it solves a familiar operational problem with a tiny C tool and no service manager dependency: package it once, expose a single executable, and users can apply soft CPU throttling to existing processes. ### Zeitleiste - 2012: The opsengine/cpulimit repository was created. - Repository era: v0.1 and v0.2 tags exist in the official GitHub repository. - 2024: The official repository was still receiving updates. ### Related projects - cpulimit is related by purpose to Unix process-management tools such as nice and schedulers, but the README distinguishes it by controlling real CPU usage through stop/continue signals rather than priority. ### Quellen - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Debian apt - cpulimit - 3.1-1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: cpulimit from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | tool for limiting the CPU usage of a process | https://limitcpu.sourceforge.net/ - Nix - cpulimit: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/cp/cpulimit/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - cpulimit - 3.0-1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: cpulimit from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | tool for limiting the CPU usage of a process | https://limitcpu.sourceforge.net/ - apk - cpulimit - 0.2-r4: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: cpulimit from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | CPU usage limiter for Linux | https://github.com/opsengine/cpulimit - dnf - cpulimit - 0.2^20151118gitf4d2682-5.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: cpulimit from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/07190dc5ae9f35ae73866675fed6d95fe6e8d9fe22c9d7cdf85862cb2ed24a4c-primary.xml.zst | CPU Usage Limiter for Linux | https://github.com/opsengine/cpulimit - zypper - cpulimit - 3.2-1.5: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: cpulimit from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/50b07339cb64c8ed4091bdbabddadc1ff5737b090e478818a195b40d8a3292861a879139b4a3987c31109699fde9fbf4a716367ddf4eef77da75f96e3193d6ed-primary.xml.zst | Limit the CPU Usage of a Process | https://limitcpu.sourceforge.net ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
