Undocumented ?

I think it is supposed to mean 'Batch JOB LIMit', but it looks like it is not enforced (at least on V6.2-1H3 were I ran a short test).

Hi Wim,

BJOBLIM = Batch Job limit
IJOBLIM = Interactive job limit
RJOBLIM = Remote job limit
NJOBLIM = Network job limit

Thanks & regards,
Lokesh

*** BJOBLIM = Batch Job limit
This is not used ? I didn't encounter the limit during a test.

*** IJOBLIM = Interactive job limit
But only for non-priv users. Are all interactive users counted for this limit (telnet, set ho) ?

RJOBLIM = Remote job limit
For terminals RT*. Telnet etc are ignored.

NJOBLIM = Network job limit
What is exactly in it ?

IMHO : this is simply a bunch of old crap.

IJOBLIM is honored for all interactive logins without OPER privilege. Now, DECterm logins do not count against that limit - there is a special bit in this UCBs that directs LOGINOUT to ignore IJOBLIM.

"NJOBLIM = Network job limit

I guess anything that you see with $SHO SYSTEM/NETWORK

How did you tested it ? With a non privilege account and setting BJOBLIM to some low value like 1 or 2 ? Maybe this can give some hint.

Thanks & regards,

For all these parameters : where is it exactly documented ?

I also found that show sys/net doesn't return all process that have f$getjpi(pid,"mode") = NETWORK.

Lokesh,

I tested it with bjoblim on 2 and with a user with only NETMBX + TMPMBX.

Just had njoblim on 2. Same user with 2 privs and tried 3 t2t. It works. The processes count 5 with show sys/net. Why ?
