[Bug 744818] New: /etc/sysconfig/ulimit has no effect on systemd based systems
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=744818 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=744818#c0 Summary: /etc/sysconfig/ulimit has no effect on systemd based systems Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: fcrozat@suse.com ReportedBy: sbrabec@suse.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- In 11.4 it was possible to enable core files by editing /etc/sysconfig/ulimit. Starting with 12.1, it is not possible any more. It seems that systemd does not read this file at all. It seems that systemd does not provide any feature that would allow to set system wide limits. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Some limits get set anyway but no memory limiting ones, like 'ulimit -Sm' and since I have a knotify4 process that grows uncontrollably I would like to set it...

Or could it be simplified further? What if initscript was sourced before starting systemd? Would that work as intended? Why didn't init do it like that? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The fix will be to handle similar value in /etc/systemd/system.conf (and adapt systemd parsing this file for the added value) and pass them as default values when environment is created for services. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

There is no reason for any program to require that much memory. If a program runs into trouble with this and I see a good reason - I can raise the limits.
