preventing a program from using 100% of CPU?
 
I have a script which I have start when the computer has been idle from 15 minutes. On the laptops it can run for bursts at 100% for a few minutes. This really heats up the laptop.

Is there a way to limit a single process from using the full 100% cpu?

(Besides introducing sleep commands in the program)

Now I got it, just only changed input of "limit" condition from 1 to 2.

What's wrong with the sleep command ? I would think that would be the best solution in most cases.
