Hello all, My oracle startup script has started to produce this error: ulimit: max user processes: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted This happens because I call: runuser - oracle -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart" in the startup script, causing the /etc/profile to be read, where I have the following line: ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536 I have properly given the permissions to user oracle to increase its limits by having the following in /etc/security/limits.conf: oracle soft nproc 2047 oracle hard nproc 16384 oracle soft nofile 1024 oracle hard nofile 65536 and, in the /etc/pam.d/login file, I have: session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so I know these permissions work because when I do a: ulimit -u 16384 on the command line while logged in as oracle, I do not get the 'Operation denied' error message. However, in the script, I do get the error message, whether it is at boot time or if I type on the command line (logged in as root): service oracle start I believe this has started not too long ago because I used to be able to type 'service oracle start' without any error message displayed. Has anybody else come across this? Michael -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
