Hello,
I need to change default system-wide ulimits. I am trying to set HARDFDLIMIT=10000 in /etc/sysconfig/ulimit What do I need to do (apart from rebooting) for this to take effect? I tried #killall mingetty and also #init 1; init 3
but my ulimits are unchanged:
# ulimit -Hn 8192
(thats the default). I also looked at /etc/profile, but there is nothing useful there besides if test "$is" != "ash" -a ! -r /etc/initscript; then ulimit -Sc 0 # don't create core files ulimit -Sd $(ulimit -Hd) ulimit -Ss $(ulimit -Hs) ulimit -Sm $(ulimit -Hm) fi
At least let the current shell restart after changing the init level. It is likely that you need to reboot though. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
