Sorry for the delay in summarizing -- too many fires, too little time.
My original question was:
I'd like to permanently raise the following ulimit setting:
data(kbytes) 131072
I see how I can raise it just for the session but I'd like to make it
permanent and I can't see how to do that from the man page.
The answer was either of two ways:
1) add the command to .profile or .login:
ulimit -d new_parameter_size as in ulimit -d 524288
or
2) change the system setting via sysconfigtab or dxkerneltuner
Run /usr/bin/X11/dxkerneltuner. Select the proc subsystem, then change the
value for per-proc-data-size. When you exit click on the button indicating
you want to make the changes permanent. This modifies your /etc/sysconfigtab
file to contain the appropriate entry. the next time you reboot the value
gets set on bootup in the kernel.
and
The relevant kernel parameter that controls the default
datasize limit is "per-proc-data-size". I've found that
dxkerneltuner is the easiest way to make parameter
changes, but see what the sysconfig(8) manual page has
to say as well. The system management guide that discusses
kernel tuning probably always say how to change these
parameters. If you don't have a printed copy, there is
an online copy on the documentation CDROM.
A reboot is required for option 2.
Thanks everyone!
Andy
