"sh[55]: ulimit: The specified value exceeds the user's allowable limit."
I am running 7.3.4 on HP UX 10.2 - DOes anyone know the reason and how to fix it , please? Many thanks

HI,

check ulimit man page. This can be altered or set in profile.

Hi,
#ulimit -a
This will tell you all the ulimit settings and
see man ulimit to set these settings.
set this in the .profile of the user or if generally required set it in /etc/profile.

In POSIX shell,

ulimit -Sa (Gives soft limits)
ulimit -Ha (Gives hard limits)

ulimit -c "core_size"
ulimit -n "open_files"
ulimit -s "stack size"

Increase one parameter at a time and run program. this way you will be able to track down what is causing the problem? Is it files open, stack size etc?

man sh for details.

# ulimit -d
Data
# ulimit -m

Hope that helps.
