Limit number of CPU cores used?

[henrebotha]

cargo build/install commands often cause Termux's shell process to end. I found that limiting cargo to 4 jobs (4 CPU cores) prevents this. I am wondering if there's a general mechanism to do something similar for all processes in Termux — basically preventing any Termux sub-process from using enough CPU to cause it to die.

Any tips? I use Zsh, if that matters.

Try

export CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=8
export MAKEFLAGS="-j8"
export NIX_BUILD_CORES=8

Note

change no of core you according to your wish and device capability.

@henrebotha you also need to ensure that you have the child process restrictions disabled:
