CPU/mem limits on child processes #4

At the moment the sandbox run time is limited by wall clock time - would be good to find a way to limit it by more precise factors e.g. CPU clock time, memory size etc. I know very little about this stuff - any way to use POSIX setrlimit() here?

Neat idea. I'll look into it.

After some talk : going to create this as a 0.6.x+ feature and it will be *nix only using setrlimit. Anyone using this should be aware of older Linux kernels not handling setrlimit properly until a patch in 2008 (couldn't find direct link). This will require a C++ addon.

hi bmeck, did you ever get around to implementing this? It would be a super useful feature.

I did not. Feel free to ad it if you want.
