ulimit -m unlimited

[EJ Stremler]

Is the default value in HPUX for how much memory per user (shell) set to unlimited? If you want to change the value of this parameter, does it need to be defined in /etc/profile?? So when new users log in, ulimit will be set to the new value...

This ulimit value isn't even documented in the POSIX shell man pages although it is in the Korn shell man pages. Normally this value is left untouched and remains at unlimited; the enforcement is left up to the stack and data segments limits which are inherited from the maxssiz and maxdsiz kernel tunables rsspectively.

Thank you for your valid responses. The fact there is no real man page, i am not going to bother touching it..
