Re: Number of Linux processes allowed?



[User is getting a "too many processes" error]

I am using "tcsh" for a shell, and when I run the "limit" command, I get
"maxproc 30". This seems a bit low. Try becoming root, and in csh or
tcsh running "limit maxproc 100", and see if you can actually run enough
processes.

This number is set to 256 by the kernel in 2.0.17 . I suspect something
is turning it down.
