Package: cpulimit
Version: 1.1-5
Severity: normal
Suppose the user wants to put the brakes on the command 'foo --cpuhog'. Can
'cpulimit' do that?
It's clear from 'man cpulimit' that this is OK:
% cpulimit foo 50
...but what if 'foo' needs the '--cpuhog' argument?
If 'cpulimit' can handle subcommand arguments, it would be better if the
man page explained how.
If 'cpulimit' can't (at present) do that, the man page could suggest
users create an ad hoc wrapper script or function, e.g.:
% myfoo() { foo --cpuhog ; }
% cpulimit foo 50
Hope this helps...
