RE: [LIH] how to set the mem usage limit

[Shridhar Daithankar]

man bash <enter>
/ulimit  <enter>

Also man quota and man edquota.

 HTH

BTW, this keeps on reminding. I have found that under heavy CPU load,
responsiveness of system is hell poor. e.g. when I am compiling KDE etc.

Any suggestions for improvements are sincerely requested. I also work on HP-UX
where system is as responsive as any other time even uner 100% CPU load. Linux
doesn't even appear on the comparison scale and I don't like that.
