[FreeBSD 1.1.5.1]
Is the following behaviour intended? Is it documented anywhere?
bash$ ulimit -t 3
bash$ ulimit -Ht 10
bash$ time ./busy
Command terminated abnormally.
3.03 real 3.00 user 0.03 sys
bash$ ulimit -t
8
bash$ time ./busy
Command terminated abnormally.
8.03 real 8.00 user 0.02 sys
bash$ ulimit -t
13
bash$ time ./busy
Command terminated abnormally.
13.04 real 13.00 user 0.04 sys
bash$ ulimit -t
13
bash$
I.e. each time the soft limit is exceeded it is increased by five seconds
until it reaches or exceeds the hard limit.
