runlim:tldr:eb39f

runlim: Limit time to an upper bound (in seconds).
$ runlim --time-limit=${number} ${command} ${command_arguments}
try on your machine

This command is using the program runlim to execute a specific command (${command}) with certain command arguments (${command_arguments}) and a time limit specified by ${number}.

Here's a breakdown of the command structure:

  1. runlim: This is the name of the program that will be used to limit the resources of the command being executed.

  2. --time-limit=${number}: This argument specifies the time limit for the command execution. ${number} should be replaced with a numerical value representing the time limit in seconds.

  3. ${command}: This placeholder represents the actual command that will be run. Replace ${command} with the desired command you want to execute.

  4. ${command_arguments}: This placeholder represents any additional arguments or options that need to be passed to the ${command}. Replace ${command_arguments} with the appropriate values.

Overall, this command will restrict the execution time of ${command} to the specified ${number} of seconds using the runlim program.
