ulimit and ksh

[Richard Pereira_1]

why cant i see file descriptors in ulimit -a when im running ksh? does ksh only depend on maxfiles_lim ?

Thanks in adv

I can't confirm that ksh only depends on maxfiles_lim but, I can confirm that nofiles(descriptors) does not show in a ulimit -a with ksh.

You need to do /usr/bin/ulimit -a

Anil - intersting...I wonder why you need the full path...

# ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) 1048576
stack(kbytes) 8192
memory(kbytes) unlimited
coredump(blocks) 4194303

root@ [ / ]
# which ulimit
/usr/bin/ulimit

root@ [ / ]
# /usr/bin/ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) 1048576
stack(kbytes) 8192
memory(kbytes) unlimited
coredump(blocks) 4194303
nofiles(descriptors) 2048

You got it though.

I can't confirm, that ulimit without specifiying the path dooesn't show the nofiles line.

hp2005@root[/] ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited

Maybe the revision is different- mine is:
