solve-field ignoring --cpulimit? #9

Open vterron opened 10 years ago

vterron commented 10 years ago

I'm trying to lower the CPU time limit before solve-field stops. However, it seems that the --cpulimit option is being ignored. The example below runs for nine minutes before giving up, when I would expect it to stop after only one or, at worst, the five minutes defined in the backend configuration file.

Is it normal that total_timelimit and total_cpulimit are zero?

Having the same issue. My solver went on for an hour before stopping (it didn't stop until it solved it). Has anyone found a solution?
