cpulimit-daemon\nA daemon to continuously limit the CPU utilization of one or more processes to a specific percentage.  \nUnlike other tools, cpulimit-daemon can also limit processes that did not exist at the time of \nlaunching cpulimit-daemon by constantly monitoring running processes and applying limits on the fly.\n\n# How to use\n\nTo use this script you have to download it from this repo.\n\n## Requirements\n\nSince this script relies on [cpulimit](https://github.com/opsengine/cpulimit), it has to be available on your system.\n\nOn Arch Linux it can be installed using\n```shell\nsudo pacman -S cpulimit\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n```\n\u003e\u003e ./cpulimit-daemon \nUsage: cpulimit-daemon [-f] -e \"myprocess.*-some -process -arguments\" -p 100\n```\n\n## Parameters\n\n| Name | Type    | Description |\n|------|---------|-------------|\n| `-f` | Flag    | Whether to apply the expression to the full command (including arguments) |\n| `-e` | ERE     | Expression to match processes with |\n| `-p` | Integer | CPU usage percentage limit |\n\n## Examples\n\n```shell\nsudo ./cpulimit-daemon -e chrome -p 50\n```\n\n# Why is my shell application stopped\nThis is \"expected behaviour\", see here:  \nhttps://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/124126/why-cpulimit-makes-process-stopped\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmarkusressel%2Fcpulimit-daemon","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmarkusressel%2Fcpulimit-daemon","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmarkusressel%2Fcpulimit-daemon/lists"}
