It's not clear from the OP's original post whether this will work for his purposes or not. My guess (which I can't substantiate, since I don't have a box which I can reboot to test) is that the entry in /etc/profile may not be applied to the init scripts, so (for example) if he wanted httpd limited the /etc/profile entry may not be sufficient. Matt, perhaps you could provide more details, on which processes you desire to have this ulimit, and why. The more specific you can get the better quality answers you'll receive. > I know it works because I just tested it and it survived the server's > reboot. I ran "ulimit -a" and the new value was there. ...from a login shell. If you don't have a login shell /etc/profile isn't read on bash startup. --keith -- kkel...@speakeasy.net
