No, DirectAdmin does not have this feature built in. It's a great idea for a feature, but it is probably quite hard to implement.

 

[azfandak]

are there any way ? with ssh or ...?

There are no tools built into either Linux or Unix which would make this easy. I'm not even sure it's possible, though usually I write that everything is possible.

You can limit processor use by program instance, but I'm not sure how you'd create a program instance for a specific user to run with specific limits.

Anyone else?

I think you can with /etc/limits.conf but its not really by a percentage but a processing time.

The file might be /etc/limits.conf or /etc/security/limits.conf

You can run the manual with:

man limits.conf

 

[azfandak]

can u explain more !

chatwizrd was suggesting you read the limits.conf manual.

However, I tried (CentOS4):

$ man limits.conf
No manual entry for limits.conf
$
