Re: RLimitMEM, RLimitCPU

[Dave Viner <suppressed>]

Sorry for not being clear.  Let me try again.

I want to configure my server such that each process (httpd) which  
services requests can consume only a set portion of CPU or memory.  I  
am using pure mod_perl... no cgi, no ssi, and i don't fork any process.

The docs appear to say that RLimitCPU will not apply to httpd  
processes, only the CGI processes (which, i believe, the httpd  
process fork/execs).

will RLimitCPU limit the CPU consumption of httpd processes even if  
they do not fork CGI procs?
