ulimit coredump

[Randy_9]

As root the coredump value for ulimit shows as
Hard=unlimited
Soft=4290772993

How can I set the ulimit value for a regular user to also be "unlimited". Does the 4290772993 refer to a 2gig file size?.

Thanks,
Randy Vincent

If you're trying to set the ulimit for the corefile to unlimited for everyone, then you would probably want to put the following command in /etc/profile:

ulimit -c unlimited

Also, 4290772993 does equate to 2GB file size. This parameter is measured in 512 byte blocks.

I have seen a problem with this under HPUX 11.00 whereby sh-posix is not unlimited, but csh was. This was for the same user.

There was no ulimit in either the /etc/profile or the /etc/csh.profile.

It was however solved by specifying a value in both profiles using the ulimit command.
