They are defined with the ulimit command

ulimit -d lets you set data for example.

for more, man ulimit

Is this ulimit parameters are related to Kernel parameter any way.

Thanks,

Yes they are.

data for example is related to maxdsiz or maxdsiz_64bit depending if your OS is 32 or 64 bits.

Hi Veri,

The last number Nofiles(Descriptor) is taken from kernel parameters maxfiles , maxfiles_lim and appears to be very low, But it actually depends on your system as well.

Are you facing any problems?
