cpulimit: Limit an existing process with PID 1234 to only use 25% of the CPU.
$ cpulimit --pid ${1234} --limit ${25%}
try on your machine
This command is used to limit the CPU usage of a specific process with a given process ID (PID). Here's a breakdown of the command:
cpulimit: This is the main command that sets the CPU usage limit for a process.--pid ${1234}: It specifies the process ID (PID) of the process for which you want to limit the CPU usage. In this example,${1234}is a placeholder, and you should replace it with the actual PID of the process you wish to target.--limit ${25%}: This flag specifies the CPU usage limit as a percentage. The${25%}is another placeholder to be replaced. You should specify the desired CPU usage limit in percentage by replacing${25%}. For example, if you want to limit the CPU usage to 25%, you would replace${25%}with25.
