True, the cputool has some limitations. We will look at this further. Thanks for sharing your experience with it.

The cputool is probably fine for some processes, but not for all of them. The 'dd' command is stopped when operated with 'cputool' and this can be seen if the 'dd' command is being run in the background and then issued a 'jobs' command. Cputool stops the execution of some of the processes and therefore is not a good limiter of CPU utilization. The 'cpulimit' package does the same.
