This might work better: <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man8/sysctl.8.html> The variable you should change is "kern.maxprocperuid": $ sysctl kern.maxprocperuid kern.maxprocperuid = 266 On my (Intel-based) systems (10.4.11 and 10.5.1), this is the default value. If you need to change the value, it's done using a Terminal window, as root, e.g.,: $ sudo sysctl -w kern.maxprocperuid=267 kern.maxprocperuid: 266 -> 267 (for example). You (Michael) are correct that '100' is way too low. My recollection is a bit blurry, but I think that the Intel platforms have been higher than 100 for a while, but PowerPC platforms have not changed. ISTR that on PowerPC I changed the startup to set the value higher, but that wasn't necessary on the Intel systems. Justin -- Justin C.
