maxuprc

[Cara Tock]

I am hitting the limit of 150 for max user processes. Is there any way to increase the value of maxuprc without a reboot?

It depends, if you are running H-UX 11.11 then maxuprc is dynamic and can be changed via kmtune. e.g. kmtune -s maxupc=300 BUT if you are running 11.0 or below then it's time for a new kernel.

Man kmtune for details.

No, you need to boot.

You might check ulimit values and see if that helps, but its boot time iv maxuprc needs to change.

That is what I thought.

Hi:

On HP-UX 11.11 you can distinguish kernel parameters that require a reboot to change from those that don't by running SAM or 'kmtune'. If a parameter is noted as "static", then a reboot is required to change it. If it is marked "dynamic", then no reboot is required.

Regards!
