set permanent ulimit

Hi all

I have a request from user to change the file descriptors limit to 8192. The current setting are:

Code:

root@xxxxx:(wmdev)> ulimit -a
time(seconds)        unlimited
file(blocks)         unlimited
data(kbytes)         1048576
stack(kbytes)        131072
memory(kbytes)       unlimited
coredump(blocks)     4194303
nofiles(descriptors) 4096
root@xxxxx:(wmdev)>

I have tried to change it with command

Code:

 ulimit -n 8192

but when i logged off the server the setting went back to 4096

Is there anyway I can make this change permanent? I know that I can edit the user's .profile or /etc/profile but I am not sure how and what I need to add to the profile. This is the user's .profile

Code:

# @(#)B11.23_LR       

# Default user .profile file (/usr/bin/sh initialization).

# Set up the terminal:
        if [ "$TERM" = "" ]
        then
                eval ` tset -s -Q -m ':?hp' `
        else
                eval ` tset -s -Q `
        fi
        stty erase "^H" kill "^U" intr "^C" eof "^D"
        stty hupcl ixon ixoff
        tabs

# Set up the search paths:
        PATH=$PATH:.

# Set up the shell environment:
        set -u
        trap "echo 'logout'" 0

# Set up the shell variables:
        EDITOR=vi
        export EDITOR

        HISTSIZE=1000
        export HISTSIZE

# Set Library paths
        export SHLIB_PATH=/u01/app/webMethods_dev/IntegrationServer/lib

# Set Java Path
        JAVA_HOME=/u01/app/webMethods_dev/jvm/hp142/jre/bin

        mesg -y

        resize > /dev/null

Also, you can see the OS version I am using-HP UX 11.23

Please help, I need to sort this out today..thank you

Thanks for viewing,

I'm answering my own questions, added the line

Code:

ulimit -n 8192

to the user's .profile:

Code:

#set number of open files

        ulimit -n 8192
".profile" 43 lines, 709 characters

Lets see if this works

that didn't work:

PHP Code:


ulimit: The specified value exceeds the user's allowable limit.
