No, I don't think it does, which is why I used the attributes settings rather than the shell settings. I was using the shell only to verify that the limit had been raised, and it had.

I haven't used user_attr often but have used it for instance to set values for oracle daemons. > Are you hitting a hard system limit for file table size? > Probably not, nor do I know how to check with csh. > Ksh uses ulimit rather than 'limit'.

Looks like I raised the soft limit on an otherwise unlimited value. $ uname -a SunOS finsen 5.10 Generic_138889-03 i86pc i386 i86pc $ id uid=110(amanda) gid=3(sys) > ksh $ ulimit -a -S time(seconds) unlimited file(blocks) unlimited data(kbytes) unlimited stack(kbytes) 10240 coredump(blocks) unlimited nofiles(descriptors) 4096 vmemory(kbytes) unlimited $ ulimit -a -H time(seconds) unlimited file(blocks) unlimited data(kbytes) unlimited stack(kbytes) unlimited coredump(blocks) unlimited nofiles(descriptors) unlimited vmemory(kbytes) unlimited I guess I could just increase the soft limit again, but it would be nice to know where the upper bound was and 'why'. > -- > Jon H.
