I need to raise the "max user processes" from 6144 to 65536 to get the stupid installer to finish... I can su - root then do a "ulimit -u 65536" then su - oracle and the oracle user gets the new "max user process" limit. What is the best way to set the system wide default? I understand that it's for that shell process and all child processes so I'd like to execute it from init so all subsequent processes see that processes limit. I've tried making a chkconfig compatable script and putting it in /etc/init.d/ The script runs at boot but has no affect on the user environment. Searching google was uselss. There's way too much noise from kernel developer mailing lists. Searching Redhat's site turned up the same results. -- Chris MCSE - Minesweeper Consultant / Solitaire Expert f u cn rd ths, u cn gt a gd jb n cmptr prgrmmng. i cn rd ths rl gd, gt a jb 4 me?? _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
