What is the exactly NPROC mximum value?

[ckchai]

Hi,

Does anyone know, what is the exact maximum value for NPROC kernel parameter that we can set on our system?

From the help or internet is said memory limited.

My system is :-
1GB = memory.
2 CPU =440 mhz
model= L2000

Thanks.

Hi,
no definite answer possible, as you did not specify how much memory each process will take.
See :
http://docs.hp.com/en/939/KCParms/KCparam.Nproc.html

A lot of parameter tuning is down to what applications you are running and what resources are being used.
Why do you want to set nproc to possible max value? Chances are you will start running out of other resources before then. By keeping the parameters within reason you are protecting the running of the machine.

Hi:

You asked about 'nproc' in you question and yet the details you provide suggest that you mean 'nfile'. In any event the manpages offer the information you need:
