Memory allocation

Hi ,

I'm little bit confused.

Is it possible to allocate a percentage of memory onlt to a user or an application in HPUX.

I hope it is not possible right?

Thanks,
siva

Siva,
yes you can control process limits on a per user basis with ulimit. For more details on output of ulimit -a, please see:
