Hi. I'm running Tru64 5.1 PK3 on a DS20E. I'm attempting to use ulimit
to change the process stack size for the current process but the value
does not appear to be changing. For example:
% ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) 585938
stack(kbytes) 488282
memory(kbytes) 2304392
coredump(blocks) unlimited
nofiles(descriptors) 4096
vmemory(kbytes) 4194304
%ulimit -s 600000
% ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) 585938
stack(kbytes) 488282
memory(kbytes) 2304392
coredump(blocks) unlimited
nofiles(descriptors) 4096
vmemory(kbytes) 4194304
I would have expected the stack value to change to 600000 (or there
abouts) but it doesn't appear to change at all. The
max-per-proc-stack-size attribute is set to 1GB and the
per-proc-stack-size attribute is set to 500MB in sysconfigtab. Any
suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to upgrade the OS or
at least apply the latest patch kit? I have very few opportunities to
have the system down which is why I'm not at the latest patch kit or
(5.1A) yet (excuses excuses :-)).
Your help is greatly appreciated with this puzzling problem.
Thanks,
