Kernel parameter for max memory usage per process

[Liam Curtis]

Hi All,

Drawing a blank here. Is there a kernel parameter that limits the maximum amount of memory usage/consumption per process?

[Patrick Wallek · Accepted solution]

Potentially.

Check out the max*siz and max*siz_64 parameters.

thnx much!

I thought at one point there was a url or pdf that explained each parameter in detail. Can not seem to find it...anyone?

HP-UX 11i V1 (11.11) tunable kernel parameters:

Dynamically tunable kernel parameters for 11i v1 & 11i v2:

I can't seem to find much more than that. I can't find any real documents on the kernel paramters for 11iv3.

Have you looked at the man pages? 11.31:

Thanks Dennis!

Boy oh boy...feeling like a newb. Part of the problem is that I really don't have to touch the system all that often, so I forget most of the stuff I learn or figure out.

The help is much appreciated...
