Thanks for the help! : either for you locally in a shell try limit/unlimit in the csh/tcsh or : ulimit in bash (and maybe sh) - the other way would be to look into the : /sys/i386/conf/LINT file: Just a note. If you are running X under xdm (as I do) then you will need to set this ulimit stuff up in the Xsession script which is executed at login. It won't really help to set it from an xterm because in any case the grandparent process will be Xsession and it will have the low limit. (which I think is 40 by the way - set by the shell). /mark -- +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+ | Mark Hannon,| Use PGP for security. | mark@seeware.DIALix.oz.au | | Melbourne, | Public key available by fingering | epamha@epa.ericsson.se | | Australia | seeware@melbourne.DIALix.oz.au | |
