RunLim

This is a tool for sampling and limiting time and memory usage of a program and its child processes using the proc file system on Linux.

Time and space limits are also supported. It is helpful for benchmarking and running competitions.

See README and NEWS for more information.

The latest version also supports limits on wall clock time and thus can control runs of multi-threaded programs on multi-core machines as well.
