Thanks P,
I have that setup as you suggested but I'm not entirely sure the sage users
are being limited (I seemed to be able to go over the limit):
Running:
import os
os.system('ulimit')
in the notebook returns:
unlimited
0
Assuming the username running Sage is 'vince' (it's not but I'm not sure
what info is safe to put out there) I have typed (just copying what you
had, at the top of the sage file just after comments about the license):
if [ "${vince/sage}" != "$vince" ]; then
# put a limit per user of 1.5G; you can change the other limits too.
# 3D plots might need more than 1G iirc, otherwise for light
# computation 1-1.2G should be ok.
ulimit -u 100 -t 3600 -v 1500000
fi
in the sage file (in a directory in USER/sage/). I then run this using the
following in a bash script:
~/sage/sage -c "notebook(interface='localhost',
directory='./sage_notebook.sagenb',port=8000, accounts=True, timeout=1200,
server_pool=['sage%d@localhost'%i for i in range(100)], open_viewer=None)"
Am I missing something (I have a feeling that my if statement is not at all
right in the bash above)? A bit at a loss so any further help is greatly
appreciated...
Vince
