Hi, On most linux systems /bin/sh is a sym link to /bin/bash It just turns out that ulimit is inherited from the shell above and 32 bit udt does change it, hence why i get my issue.
So i can work round that now by resetting ulimit. Thanks for everyones insight. -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Michael Pflugfelder Sent: 07 July 2009 17:38 To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] 2gig limit sticking into bash shell In your diff comparison below, it appears that the first shell is /bin/bash and the second shell (started as a subshell of Universe) is /bin/sh. Wondering if that's where your problem is. You could try changing the UV Verb SH from /bin/sh to /bin/bash and see if that helps. > > Thanks for the pointers, > > > > Sorry i mislead you a bit - when i tried this myself it does indeed > work if > > you come out of udt and run it, it is only if you shell out from > within udt > > that it fails. > > The set command before and while in udt shows quite a few diffs, > these > > mainly look to be udt config params tho :- > > diff set.out set2.out > > 2c2,9 > > < BASH=/bin/bash > > --- > > > >> AIMG_BUFSZ=102400 > >> AIMG_FLUSH_BLKS=2 > >> AIMG_MIN_BLKS=10 > >> ARCHIVE_TO_TAPE=0 > >> ARCH_FLAG=0 > >> ARCH_WRITE_SZ=0 > >> AVG_TUPLE_LEN=4 > >> BASH=/bin/sh > >> > > 8a16,20 > > _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
