Hi:
i modified the file /etc/security/limits.conf for change values reported using ulimit command. problem is that if i logind with oracle user values no change. it works using root user only. why?

thanks

According to the man page for limits.conf, did you specify the Oracle user? Unless you wish to set defaults across your system (using the '*' character), you need to specify the user.

[Edwin Ruiz_2]

Yes.. i am using *

hai,

We can control ulimit informations over limits.conf file,


oracle core 0

specify the informations over there.

If you are using only default entry * defined items and details only will be for all users.

make the changes on limits.conf file and check what is

$ ulimit -a
saying

L.S.

I added these lines to /etc/security/limits.conf:
oracle hard nofile 65536
oracle hard nproc 16384

Login with oracle account and check with ulimit -a.

Maybe the settings are set somewhere else too? .profile, .bashrc, ...

In my latest reply: use ulimit -aH if you set HARD limits..

Problem is that when i login with user oracle, ulimit -a no show values in limits.conf, only when i login using root and then su - oracle, ulimit -a show values in limits.conf.
