About this Article:
My organization has a server application that lets users create their own FoxPro scripts. The application then executes these scripts with EXECSCRIPT(). Sometimes a user manages to submit code that contains infinite loops or requires so much CPU time that the server comes to a halt. Is there a way I can limit the CPU usage for a script?
