Maximum parallel processes in namespace

[skeggse]

Sometimes it's useful to use process-compose to kick off a bunch of parallel finite-length jobs, and wait for them all to complete. If you have too many jobs or too few resources, it can result in memory errors and untenable CPU utilization.

Is there a way to limit the number of running processes in a namespace, such that extra processes get left in a pending state?

I need that too. Seems good way to organize tests.

So not sure it should be NS only feature? It can be PC wide?

[skeggse]

Either way honestly, just felt like NS gave it a nice compartment to be confined to

Hi,

Good feedback.
I believe doing it PC wide will make more sense in terms of limiting the system over-utilization.
Will you be able to create a feature request if this makes sense for you?
