how to set data limit to 2GB ?

[ng_7]

hi experts,

I would like to change the value of data paramether to 2GB

I am using this command
ulimit -d 2097152

but I get Error :
app:/prod/applprod/prodcomn/admin/log# ulimit -aS
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) 359800
stack(kbytes) 262144
memory(kbytes) unlimited
coredump(blocks) 4194303
nofiles(descriptors) 2048

app:/prod/applprod/prodcomn/admin/log# ulimit -d 2097152
sh: ulimit: The specified value exceeds the user's allowable limit.

thanks

regards
ng

There's some other parameters that affect ulimit (see threads below).

In order to change data limit,
You must change the kernel parameter maxdsiz.
good luck.
