I want to be able to enforce CPU time limits on a process group as a whole: send every process in the group a signal when the CPU time accumulated by all of the processes exceedes some limit. I tried setrlimit, but that give only a per-process limit. Searching through the man pages, I can't even find a way of getting the actual usage of an entire process group -- everything I can find reports only terminated processes. The only thing I can think of would be to actually work through the whole group in the process table and add everything up. Is this the thing to do? If anyone has a code which would do this (or pieces of it) I would like to look at it. I'm running SunOS 4.0.1.
