Tru64 5.1 kit 3 - What ulimit defaults if any are used when running jobs
from crontab?

Was bit by a crontab job. ulimit defaults (ulimit -a ) for user accounts
on stack and data are 4g. However, in my Oracle profile I set stack to
51m and data to 1g to limit possible runaway job resource use.

I had a crontab job which would not run until I set ulimit -d 51000 and
ulimit -s 1000000.

Can anyone explain this behavor?

Thanks,
