Thank you very much to all who responded to my request for help.
The question was, how is the maximum size of the process table
increased, as the keywords specified in the docco did not appear to
work.
The consensus is that the "maxusers" parameter is used to increase or
decrease kernel tunables as a kind of blunderbuss approach. i.e.
increasing maxusers will increase the max size of the process table,
along with various other parameters.
Thanks to Eddie Tsang who provided the following info from Digital:
maxuproc <= NPROC - 9
NPROC = 20 + ( 8 * maxusers )
According to some quick tests, tweeking the kernel and spawning procs
until the table is full, this is accurate.
It looks like the easiest way to increase NPROC is to change the value
of maxusers. I now have maxusers set to 64, and NPROC appears to be 532
which is good.
Once again thanks to all who responded.
Cheers
Dave
