Thanks once again , infact i tried ulimit -v for checking on the limit of virtual memory . Following is the output for ulimit -a for which most of them are specified as unlimited , would it be because of max open files or stack size ? But it works sometimes and fails sometimes, and this problem . could you also suggest (if any change required) what the values should be for open files, pipe size , stack size and max user processes
bash-2.03$ id uid=302(cvsuser) gid=10(staff) bash-2.03$ ulimit -a core file size (blocks) unlimited data seg size (kbytes) unlimited file size (blocks) unlimited open files 256 pipe size (512 bytes) 10 stack size (kbytes) 8192 cpu time (seconds) unlimited max user processes 15717 virtual memory (kbytes) unlimited Thanks Bala Balaji Krishnamoorthy Senior Systems Analyst Architecture, IT Standard & Poor's (S&P) 55 Water Street, 35th Floor New York, NY 10041 Phone: (212)-438-1118 Fax: (212)-438-7482 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2002 3:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: CVS Tagging Terminated with fatal signal 11 Krishnamoorthy, Balaji writes: > > Unix box is dedicated as CVS server and we do not have any other processes running >other than the very basic services of unix > the top command stats are as follows typically at any given point . and the ulimit >command returns "unlimited" as the output.

The man page for your shell to learn how the ulimit command works. ulimit with no arguments gives you the maximum allowable *file* size, it doesn't have anything to do with memory limits. If you can't be bothered to read the man page, at least try "ulimit -a". -Larry Jones Let's pretend I already feel terrible about it, and that you don't need to rub it in any more. -- Calvin ________________________________________________________________ The information contained in this message is intended only for the recipient, may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
