Enter:

child_admX [percent] [interval]

Where:

percent

the percent CPU usage before child admin will demote a task to a non-realtime priority and perodically give the task a SIGSTOP and SIGCONT to keep it from hogging the CPU. NOTE: it will only monitor tasks that perform a join layer. default is off. 
Optional.

interval

interval in seconds over which the task CPU usage is checked.
default is off.
Optional.

Example:

child_admX 50 5 &
The above would spawn the child administrator and demote any task that consumes more than 50

Notes:

If interval is to be specified then percent must also be specified. Estimate of the CPU usage will be incorrect if at any time the percent value is set higher than 100
