Description

this would be extremely important, to handle jobs that waste too many resources

options:

  1. use the linux timelimit command. there is alo ulimit. maybe also google for more modern approaches

  2. the runsolver tool might be the best option

Research direction

Start by locating the SSH mode entry point and determine how remote jobs are launched. Compare the proposed timelimit, ulimit, and runsolver approaches, then define which runtime and memory limits must be supported and verify that an intentionally resource-heavy job is constrained as expected.
