ulimit -a

[Paul Stanard]

ulimit -a produces 4194304
any reason why is does not display all of the current resource limits

[Johan Brusche]

Because you are in the "sh"-shell and use the built-in ulimit. ("type ulimit")

Use /usr/bin/ulimit -a if you want the other output.

Hi,

/usr/bin/ulimit -a

gives a complete report for me, even when running a sh.
Try running ksh and the ulimit -a

echo $shell

echo $PATH
/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/local/

type ulimit
