change ulimit fsize permanantly
Hi,
on HP-UX when I run command
ulimit -a
I get

time(seconds) 4096
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) 1048576
stack(kbytes) 8192
memory(kbytes) unlimited
coredump(blocks) 4194303
nofiles(descriptors) 4096

Now I want to change
file(blocks) unlimited
to file(blocks) 50MB

Can anyone help me to change it?

Better, you can do

#man ulimit and get detailed information before you proceed changing.

Fsize in default: stanza.

The default: stanza in /etc/security/limits is still set to 2097151 on fsize (max file size). I know tar had issues with large files but is there any other reasons for it? I'm thinking yes since it's still set to that by IBM. Cheers, DH (4 Replies)
