I've found there is a simple way which works for many commands which run from

Thanks for the idea, and sorry for missing to reply for so long!
I've now forwarded your proposal to upstream.
Cheers,

The original bug seemed to suggest cpulimit runs commands in a similar
fashion to the nice command. I think this is a mis-reading of the
documentation. CPUlimit can be used to throttle programs already running
by their name, but does not launch a program itself.
The proposed suggestion of using
/usr/bin/somecommand --argument &
cpulimit -l 50 -p $1
Is definitely the correct method of launching and throttling a command
at the same time. I will add this to the manual page for the next
release to avoid confusion. Thank you for passing this along.
