Note that the Korn shell (& clones) default to manipulate both, the soft _and_ the hard limits, so there's no way back. Use ulimit -S -s to avoid this. The csh's are not suffering from this braindeadness, their limit command manipulates the soft limits by default. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
