Hello Phuti,
It would be better to know why you have reached the limit rather than just increasing it. How have you set this limit so far, or is it the default? How many processes do you have, and why do you think you have run out?
My main concern is that something has gone into a loop and is generating processes all the time, so if increasing the limit without a boot is possible, then you will just have the problem growing. The limit is there to try to protect your system from something going wrong.
Has something recently changed for this server, e.g. has it now become production and therefore it's under untested load perhaps?
I think that the value can only be set at boot time, so it might be (I'd need to check) an update to the configuration, a kernel build and a boot to bring it in. If it was Solaris then i think it's simply a file update, but again a boot to bring it in. I think that AIX has them all set to maximum anyway.
If you can elaborate a little more, then we might be able to find a better solution.
Kind regards,
Robin

[--label-color=COLOR] [--label-bgcolor=FILE]
[--product-name=STRING] [--product-version=STRING]
[--sparc-boot] [--arcs-boot]
DESCRIPTION
grub-mkrescue can be used to generate a rescue image with the GRUB bootloader.
OPTIONS
--output=FILE
Write the generated file to FILE. The default is to write to standard output.
--modules=MODULES
Pre-load modules specified by MODULES.
--install-modules=MODULES
Install only MODULES and their dependencies. The default is to install all available modules.
--themes=THEMES
Install THEMES. The default is to install the starfield theme, if available.
--fonts=FONTS
Install FONTS. The default is to install the unicode font.
--locales=LOCALES
Install only locales listed in LOCALES. The default is to install all available locales.
--compress[=no,xz,gz,lzo]
Compress GRUB files using the specified compression algorithm.
--directory=DIR
Use images and modules in DIR.
--grub-mkimage=FILE
Use FILE as grub-mkimage(1). The default is /usr/bin/grub-mkimage.
--rom-directory=DIR
Save ROM images in DIR.
--xorriso=FILE
Use FILE as xorriso.
--grub-glue-efi=FILE
Use FILE as grub-glue-efi(3).

the i386-pc target platform.
-- All options after a -- will be passed directly to xorriso's command line when generating the image.
