Use the project controls -- either prctl or projadd. In older versions of Solaris (prior to Solaris 10), you used to have to change variables in /etc/system and then reboot to do this. That's no longer true. In fact, any such variable put there now is just ignored. If you do a google search on "shmmax solaris," you'll turn up a lot of references to this. A really handy reference is the tunable parameters reference manual: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19253-01/817-0404/ http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19253-01/817-0404/chapter1-33/index.html > I tried setting from cli using set command it dint change in /etc/system > file > please help how to do it There is no special command that changes /etc/system. If you need to change that file, use any text editor (such as vi or emacs). You will need to have sufficient privileges to modify the file. (That is, you'll need to be root.) Note also that /etc/system is read only once at system boot time, so modifying it does nothing to a running system. See the system(4) man page for more information. ("man -s 4 system") And note that /etc/system has nothing to do with shared memory limits. ;-} -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carls...@workingcode.com> _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
