Cpulimit 1.2
+=======
+About:
+=======
+
+Cpulimit is a program that attempts to limit the cpu usage of a process (expressed in percentage, not in cpu time). This is useful to control batch jobs, when you don't want they eat too much cpu. It does not act on the nice value or other scheduling priority stuff, but on the real cpu usage. Also, it is able to adapt itself to the overall system load, dynamically and quickly.
+The control of the used cpu amount is done sending continue and stop POSIX signals to processes.
+All the children processes and threads of the specified process will share the same percent of cpu.
+
+Developed by Angelo Marletta.
+Please send your feedback, bug reports, feature requests to marlonx80 at hotmail dot com.
