ulimit -a

[Remote Systems Support]

As the oracle users:
/home/oracle$ulimit -a
ksh: ulimit: bad option(s)

/home/oracle$ulimit

Thanks.

'-a' is not a valid option for the ulimit command in Korn shell (ksh). The '-a' option to ulimit only works in the POSIX (sh) shell.

Hi,

Sorry, I should have mentioned that.
Switch to the POSIX shell by just running
sh
and then try the ulimit -a. Switching shells will have no affect on the actual limits.
And since POSIX shell is a superset of the korn shell, there's no reason why you shouldn't run POSIX shell for the oracle user anyway.

Rgds,
Jeff
