Hello,
we have an Indigo 4000 Elan in our institute. A few days or so we hooked
up a second X-terminal to it, so that there are now three persons working
on this machine. As a result, we got errors from cron saying that a process
couldn't be forked. 'ps' showed (shortly after that) a total of 91
processes running. My question:
Does
#define NPROC 96                /* # processes */
in /usr/sysgen/master.d/kernel indeed define the maximum number of processes ?
If so, can I just increase this number and do a 'autoconfig -f' ?

Thanks for any hints,
