That makes sense now. It looks like swap is taken into account for the amount of memory. This would explain the system I looked at with maxproc = 20479; it has about 640 MB RAM + 980 MB swap, which is quite a bit more than the other machines I looked at. -Steve -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
