Time - the maximum amount of CPU time a process is allowed before it is automatically terminated (not supported on all flavors of UNIX)
File - the maximum size a process is allowed to write to a file; reads are unrestricted.
Data --- maximum data segment size allowed per process
Stack --- Maximum program stack segment size allowed per process
Coredump -- maximum size of a core file
nofiles -- maximum per process no of file descriptors allowed to be simultaneously open

Man sh-posix and look for "ulimit".
