No, I understood that perfectly... the *_limits rc var was introduced much later just so one can add extra flags to this limits(1) invocation. This would be counter-productive to the original intention of the limits(1) invocation, which had no concept of foo_limits until lately and was intended to just generally apply to all rc scripts without a bunch of redundant crud in every rc script that it can apply to. > I actually believe that is how the code already works, but not sure. Negative, as I've already mentioned a couple of times... limits(1) is applied basically unconditionally. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
