Hi folks,
Is this a bug in csh (or whatever controls process limits)?...
Try this:
% limit -h cputime 10
% limit -h cputime
cputime 0:10
% limit -h cputime 1000
% limit -h cputime
cputime 16:40
% limit -h cputime 10
% limit -h cputime
cputime 0:10
% limit -h cputime 1001
limit: cputime: Can't set hard limit
limit apparently lets you RAISE hard cputime limits provided that
you do not raise them by a factor greater than 100 in one go...
from csh(1) "Only the super-user may raise the hard limits..."
What we have is IRIX 3.3 running on a 4 processor 4/240s
cheers, Kris.
