You are correct. But how can I use background process limitations? Is there any new command introduced?

Without using cpulimit the process uses 95-100% of the cpu (4 cores / 8 threads). Using this code: cpulimit --pid 17918 --limit 75 Makes my cpu use only 8-12%..... Also tried: cpulimit --pid 17918 --limit 75 -cpu 4 and --cpu 8 Same result... the cpulimit module seems glitched. Sad that Linux is so shit in 2019 since Windows could have controlled the CPU usage 100% precise since like 2004 and that from the task manager without installing additional shit and waste more time.

--background or -b is no longer a valid option.
