I cannot decode your mention of bash�s ulimit command into some
desirable action (no man info found).

As for info on ulimit, as I said, it's a bash built-in command, so it will be under the bash man page, not its own. The bash man page is rather more like a man BOOK, or even a man ENCYCLOPEDIA <g>, it's so long, but using the Mdk default less as the man pager, "/" puts man (or less, actually) into "find" mode, so you can use "/ulimit" and then hit return to search for it once the bash manpage is loaded. Or.. at least with the manpage version as I have it here.. ulimit is covered starting at line 4305, it looks like.


bash also has built-in help. Type 'help' and it spews out a 45 line summary of the built-in commands. Type 'help ulimit' and 28 helpful lines about ulimit are shown :-)


I was happy when I found out about 'help'... less wading through the bash man page.
