New resource limits have been introduced for processes invoked from the shell to prevent runaway processes. Limits are not comprehensive and thus not targeted at restricting usage, but rather avoiding runaway processes from capitalizing a system. These values are tentative and may change based upon feedback.
The limits are as follows:
- file size: 1 GB
- memory: 512 MB
- open files: 256
- CPU time: 1 hour
- processes: 10
Mandatory per-process resource limits
