Help with gunzip
Hi All,

I have a file "HOTEL_INFO.zip" and getting the below errors:

Code:
 
server1:/home/arun# gunzip -S .zip HOTEL_INFO.zip
gunzip: HOTEL_INFO.zip: first entry not deflated or stored -- use unzip

 
server1:/home/arun#unzip HOTEL_INFO.zip
ksh: unzip:  not found.
 
server1:/home/arun#gunzip HOTEL_INFO.zip
gunzip: HOTEL_INFO.zip: unknown suffix -- ignored

i believe this is something we play around with ulimit.

server1:/home/arun# ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) 2097151
data(kbytes) 131072
stack(kbytes) 32768
memory(kbytes) 32768
coredump(blocks) 2097151
nofiles(descriptors) 2000

and changing the attribute file = unlimited will resolve the purpose and so i can gunzip the .zip file using the below command successfully:

Code:
 server1:/home/arun# gunzip -S .zip HOTEL_INFO.zip

Please advise whether ulimit -f unlimited is the appropriate command as to execute from 'root' id? since i dont have authorization to perform this action.

Or advise me, which is the appropritae command/what actually restricting me from ding this?

FYI, the user id here is LDAP maintained and not local.

Thanks.
