rsync throttling (Was: children of init ignore STOP and CONT signals)

Not all signals are ignored. The TERM and INT signals correctly terminate the process. I would like to send STOP and CONT to throttle the CPU usage of a rsync process. I want to avoid spawning a bash process to start rsync because it is started from a Windows process. If I invoke a shell process to invoke rsync, it will be difficult to get the windows process id so I can translate it to a cygwin process id and send it a signal.

Any suggestions?
Use --bwlimit=KBPS. This should indirectly throttle cpu usage. This won't have an impact on the initial cpu-usage if you specify -c to force check-summing of all files.
