try on your machine

The command runlim is used to limit the resources that a command can use while running. The specific behavior and options of runlim can vary depending on the system and environment it is used in, but in general, it allows you to set limits on CPU time, memory usage, and other system resources.

In this particular command:

runlim --output-file=${filename} ${command} ${command_arguments}

  • runlim is the command itself.
  • --output-file=${filename} is an option or flag for the runlim command. It specifies the name or path of the file where the output or results of the executed command (${command}) will be written. The ${filename} is a variable that needs to be replaced with an actual filename.
  • ${command} represents the command that you want to run and limit using runlim. It could be any executable or script file.
  • ${command_arguments} represents the arguments or parameters that you want to pass to the command being executed.

By using this command, you will run the specified ${command} with the given ${command_arguments} and limit its resource usage. The output or results of the executed command will be written to the file specified in --output-file=${filename}.
