Why are there two ulimit lines in here? Does the second one undo what
the first one did, causing cores to not get generated?
The second one is a debugging thing, it just prints to STDOUT what the
ulimit has been set to.
When I needed to get cores generated I did exactly what it said here:
http://httpd.apache.org/dev/debugging.html#crashes
namely, that I ran ulimit in the shell, then in that same shell started
apache with apachectl. I was able to generate cores that way.
Sure, but I'm not sure why doing that in a startup script doesn't do the
same thing?
