  • Comment: find processes by name and limit all matching ones

    or cpulimit -s FahCore could mean "substring match"... maybe regex is overkill.

  • find processes by name and limit all matching ones

    If I run folding@home on my mac mini without limits, the fan speed gets ridiculous (or else the CPU runs too hot if I don't do anything to increase the fan speed). With CPU scaling, if I limit each folding process to 80% CPU, then the frequency scales back so that it's now 80% of 1 GHz rather than 80% of 1.83. That's OK because it stays "nice" and cool that way. But, the main folding process...

  • Comment: segfault on AMD64

    The patch from the other bug help, BTW, but why is the release still 1.1 from 2006 then? That's what the gentoo ebuild fetches because it's the latest release, regardless what is in SVN.

  • segfault on AMD64

    I'm running Gentoo on a Core 2 Duo mac mini. [mini][01:57:08 PM] cpulimit --limit 40 /etc/init.d/foldingathome start Segmentation fault Same thing if I start the process first and then limit it by pid. I see there is already a bug written about this, from 2007, but for Debian. [mini][01:59:16 PM] gcc --version gcc (Gentoo 4.3.2-r3 p1.6, pie-10.1.5) 4.3.2 maybe bleeding-edge gcc...

  • too many open files fix

    Forgot to closedir() after finding a process.
