runlim

A tool for sampling and limiting time and memory usage of a program and its child processes using the proc file system on Linux.

• Print the time and memory usage of a command:

runlim {command} {command_arguments}

• Log statistics to a file instead of stdout:

runlim --output-file={path/to/file} {command} {command_arguments}

• Limit time to an upper bound (in seconds):

runlim --time-limit={number} {command} {command_arguments}

• Limit real-time to an upper bound (in seconds):

runlim --real-time-limit={number} {command} {command_arguments}

• Limit space to an upper bound (in MB):

runlim --space-limit={number} {command} {command_arguments}
