Usage: cpulimit TARGET [OPTIONS...] [-- PROGRAM] TARGET must be exactly one of these: -p, --pid=N pid of the process -e, --exe=FILE name of the executable program file The -e option only works when cpulimit is run with admin rights. -P, --path=PATH absolute path name of the executable program file OPTIONS -b --background run in background -f --foreground launch target process in foreground and wait for it to exit -c --cpu=N override the detection of CPUs on the machine. -l, --limit=N percentage of cpu allowed from 1 up. Usually 1 - 100, but can be higher on multi-core CPUs (mandatory) -m, --monitor-forks Watch children/forks of the target process -q, --quiet run in quiet mode (only print errors). -k, --kill kill processes going over their limit instead of just throttling them. -r, --restore Restore processes after they have been killed. Works with the -k flag. -s, --signal=SIG Send this signal to the watched process when cpulimit exits. Signal should be specificed as a number or SIGTERM, SIGCONT, SIGSTOP, etc. SIGCONT is the default. -v, --verbose show control statistics -z, --lazy exit if there is no suitable target process, or if it dies -- This is the final CPUlimit option. All following options are for another program we will launch. -h, --help display this help and exit
