Question Request to Enforce Cron Job Usage Limits

Hello Support Team,

We would like to check whether the following cron job restrictions can be configured and enforced on our Plesk Linux server:

  1. All cron jobs must run with nice priority level 15 or greater.
  2. Cron jobs must not run more frequently than once every 15 minutes.
  3. If cron jobs exceed the assigned CPU limits, the customer account should be suspended or restricted.
Please confirm whether Plesk has any built-in option to enforce these cron job limits per customer/subscription.

If this is not available by default, kindly advise the recommended method to achieve this, such as using custom scripts, systemd/cgroups, CloudLinux, or any other supported solution.

We would also like to know whether Plesk can automatically block or suspend accounts when cron jobs consume excessive CPU resources.

Awaiting your guidance.
