I have a long-lived multithreaded server process that needs to execute programs and interact with them via Handles. The programs could misbehave, like loop or hang, so I need to limit the real and CPU time they can take.
An alternative is to forkProcess and have the child setResourceLimit and then executeFile.
The documentation for forkProcess seems to say that Handle-based I/O won't work in the child process. I need to communicate with the program I'm running via its standard input and output. Does this mean forkProcess is out of the question?
