ulimit -t with scilab
 

Hi
i have scilab scritps which have tendency to behave badly(infinite loops/runtime errors).
right now I am using following commands

ulimit -t 2
scilab -f "script1.sci"

Now if the script has infinite loop this scheme will work pretty well, but not in the case of erroneous script, it just stops in scilab shell and doesnt come back to terminal.

I am using ubuntu (karmic)

Are you asking for help to fix your scripts or to work around their deficiencies ?

Hi..
the scripts were given to me for correction and assessments, so i was planning to automate the assessment process rather than the manual way. For that the first task was to remove any script that can have infinite loops etc etc.

The issue has been resolved by using the program "timelimit"
