Dear ruby-hackers,
is there any way to set resource limits in ruby? I am starting a
program (popen) that should not create files > 1 MB, so I think that
the linux/unix syscall setrlimit would be the best way for that.
Sure I can write an sh-wrapper or c-wrapper around the ruby process,
but I'd like to avoid that. But I haven't found any kernel#ulimit or
alike methods in ruby.

You could write an extension in C that calls the setrlimit function.
Have a look at pickaxe and the section named "Extending Ruby".

Check out http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/rlimit/
I haven't tried it though.
Cheers,
Kent.

Thanks for the pointer! That looks doable (just did a quick test).
*hth*,
yes, I think it does.

rlimit as well as the other project mentioned there
(library/resource) is gone.
But thanks for the pointer, I should look at raa more often.

That is what I did now. I always skipped this chapter of pickaxe
'cause I was too afraid of it :-). Thanks again for your suggestion.

Thanks to David and Andrew for this nice book; I will buy a paper
copy of it when the new edition comes out.
I think rlimit is what you are looking for. It is
already made. --David Ross
