AFAIK, you can't set the limit higher than the hard limit. % limit cputime unlimited filesize unlimited datasize unlimited stacksize 10240 kbytes coredumpsize 1 kbytes memoryuse unlimited vmemoryuse unlimited descriptors 1024 memorylocked unlimited maxproc 4087 % limit maxproc 4088 limit: maxproc: Can't set limit % limit maxproc 4086 % limit cputime unlimited filesize unlimited datasize unlimited stacksize 10240 kbytes coredumpsize 1 kbytes memoryuse unlimited vmemoryuse unlimited descriptors 1024 memorylocked unlimited maxproc 4086 Now, the question is "how do you set the hard limit". I'm not sure. I googled and didn't find anything relevant. I'd assume it could be set through sysctl, but maybe someone else has experience with this. -- S C Rigler RHCE #803003335409754 > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of rachid boukhari > Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 8:20 AM > To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: limit maxproc > > > Hi, > > I couldn't upgrade maxproc limit on my linuxbox. > Here is the output of the limit command > #limit > cputime unlimited > filesize unlimited > datasize unlimited > stacksize 8192 kbytes > coredumpsize unlimited > memoryuse unlimited > descriptors 1024 > memorylocked unlimited > maxproc 7168 > openfiles 1024 > > I would like to enable more processus > #limit maxproc 8192 > limit: maxproc: Can't set limit > > Where are defined those parameters and why I've got maxproc defined to > 8192 in another machine and 7168 in this one. > Any helpful web documentation link for this matters > > Regards, > -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
