Can't you use the "-thread 1" or something similar in the render
script? That way it would force the render to just use one thread.

I would like to be able to create a rush group that would limit the
number of CPUs to be used in a specific job.

Here's my problem: I need to be able to use all of the CPUs on a host
for rendering with XSI, but I also need to be able to use those same
muli-cpu hosts with an application that work using only one CPU.

So, I'd like to retain the multiple processors for XSI jobs, but use a
single processor for another type of job, on the same set of hosts. I
know I can describe the host's CPUs in the rush.conf file, but is there
a way to make rush think the host only has one processor when it's using
a specific group?

Best,
