Aix pid issue
Hi
I have an IBM AIX 5.3 64Bit running with 64bit application (Kernel runs on 64bit also).
I changed the maximum proccesses per user to the maximum.
Currently the pids of proccesses in the system using 5 digits (<100000).
Is it possible to make the system use pids bigger then 4500000? I need it for some debug issues (need to simulate a problem of a customer).
In other words : i need to make the system give a pid of 4500000 to one proccess.
Thanks for any help
