[Buildbot-devel] Limiting resource usage

[Amber Yust]

The simplest would be to simply run ulimit in whatever context you're
starting the buildslave in, before you restart it.

(In other words, if you're starting it from a shell or shell script, run
ulimit there before the command; if you're starting it from somewhere else,
ulimit&&... can work fine too.)
