question about limits
A long time ago I set limits in /etc/security/limits.conf
recently I have to run some independent firefox instances:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
for q in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do iceweasel -no-remote -P profile$q & ; done
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
And some of them were killed by trap or segfault.
I set limits bigger, and by limits conf looks like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
sudo cat /etc/security/limits.conf
[sudo] password for kjonca:
* hard nproc 500
* soft nproc 150
kjonca - nproc 16000
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I have relogged (I am using xdm, if it matters)
but I can't run iceweasel instances
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ps xms|wc
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
gives me something like 480-490
so I suspect, that somehow is enforced another limit.
BTW:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
kjonca@alfa:~%ulimit -a

-q: bytes in POSIX msg queues 819200
-e: max nice 0
-r: max rt priority 0
-N 15: unlimited
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
What should I check?
