I am trying to do ulimit -d unlimited and I get "sh: ulimit: The specified value exceeds the user's allowable limit." Can someone please help me understand, how to change this! Thanks |

are you running the command as root or as a user?
only root can define unlimited. a user can set a soft limit but it can not exceed the hard limit. check out the man page for ulimit. |
