Hello.
I see in rctl man page, that I can limit cpu time in milliseconds, e.g., for jail. But I can't deny allocation of the resource (according to man page).
In Solaris I can assign different amount of cpu shares to different projects. How can I achieve this with rctl? For example, I'd like to give jail:www 40% CPU, jail:db - 50% CPU and leave 10% to the base system...

The cputime resource (it got renamed shortly before the code freeze to match
resource names in login.conf(5)) defines amount of CPU time used, not the percentage.
That's why you cannot deny it - if you could, it would just make the offending process
(jail, login class, user) hang indefinitely.

The %CPU limit is not implemented yet. I plan to do this before sometime
after 9.0 is out.

Any progress yet?
