This is a shell builtin command, not an OS X command. For bash, the command is "ulimit", not "unlimit". You'll need to read the bash man page for exact details on how to raise your processes memory limits. Note that the OS X may have a hard limit that you can't exceed except as root. This can be raised, but it's a global system configuration, and you'll have to get someone who knows more about OS X than I do to tell you how to do that. <mike -- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
