timing child processes

Is there an easy way to kill a process after it uses up a certain
amount of CPU time (Note: NOT REAL time)? The times() system command
does return CPU times of child processes. Is there a way to monitor
this time ? The problem with time is that it doesnt give you the
CPU process time unless you wait() on it.

Thanks !
