 In the program that you are monitoring add the following:

	#include <signal.h>

	int cpu_limit_exceeded();


	Your_init_func()
	    {
	    ....
	    (void) signal(SIGXCPU,cpu_limit_exceed);
	    ....
	    }


	int cpu_limit_exceeded(sig,code,scp)
	    int sig, code;
	    struct sigcontext *scp;
	    {
	    printf("Time's up Bud\n");
	    }
