Can I change the SIGNAL done when ulimit is reached?
 

I would like to use ulimit -St <some number> to stop a process form running once the process has exceeded the amount of CPU time specified in the ulimt arg.

I have been able to get ulimit -t (or -Ht) to kill my process, but I need the signal to be something other than 9 and other than SIGXCPU.

Is there a way to have ulimit issue a kill -<somthing else> when the cpu time specified has been exceeded?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Not directly with ulimit however I can see using a bash script and doing this in an indirect way. With a little more info, we can probably get one hammered out.
