Charlie Jui asks about user CPU limits in OSF/1...

Take a look at "man setrlimit". It says:

  Because this information is stored in the per-process information, and
  inherited by fork(), the setrlimit() function should be executed directly
  by the shell in order to affect all future processes created by the shell.
  Thus, limit is a built-in command to the shells.

This suggests that it is not accessible in the way I think you want: a
simple management-settable parameter. On HP-UX 9.x, one CAN do this
quite easily inside sam (the HP GUI admin tool). However, I've yet
to find an analog of HP sam or Sun admintool or IBM smit on DEC OSF/1
(or Digital UNIX, as it now officially is called).
