In article <562@aurora.AthabascaU.CA> lyndon@nexus.ca writes: % %One problem with this is that cron jobs don't go through login. Yes I can %add an explicit ulimit command to the command lines in cron, just as I %can add wrappers around login. The fact that I have to do this on such %a global scale argues that perhaps this limit shouldn't be there in the %first place ... Ok -- so the obvious solution is to write a new /etc/init that sets the ulimit and then execs the real init, "/etc/init.real". Then every process on the system inherits the big ulimit. (I haven't had the guts to try this, however) -- Steve Losen scl@virginia.edu University of Virginia Academic Computing Center
