Hi, I'm trying to set a size limit over processes for some system. I tried setting 'ulimit -m' (memory size limit), but it had no effect. After playing around with ulimit (at the end, i will put the configuration in /etc/security/limits.conf) I found that when I change: 'ulimit -v' (virtual memory) it can restrict the size of my processes. But the problem is that I can't find a direct relation between the size I set in the 'ulimit -v' command and the actual size i'm allowed to allocate. Can anyone explain or direct me to information of what is this relation between the two parameters?
I have performed my tests both on RHEL3 (kernel 2.4.21-rh.patches) and on gentoo with kernel 2.6.12-gentoo-r6. 10x, Noam Meltzer ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
