Synopsis

RLimitCPU # | 'max' [# | 'max']
Default: OS defaults
Server config, virtual host

RLimitCPU takes one or two parameters. Each parameter may be a number or the word max,which invokes the system maximum, in seconds per process. The first parameter sets the soft resource limit; the second the hard limit.^[7]

---

^[7] The soft limit can be increased again by the child process, but the hard limit cannot. This allows you to set a default that is lower than the highest you are prepared to allow. See man rlimit for more detail.
