McCalpin) Newsgroups: comp.sys.sgi Subject: running out of processes Message-ID: Date: 26 Jun 91 13:17:10 GMT Sender: usenet@ee.udel.edu Organization: College of Marine Studies, U. Del. Lines: 13 Nntp-Posting-Host: perelandra.cms.udel.edu I keep running out of process slots on my 4D25/TG running IRIX 3.3.1. I typically have 80 processes going when I am just sitting at the console, so if one person logs in on an X-windows terminal I usually hit the magic limit (around 90 processes?) and have to start killing things. This is very inconvenient for me. Is there any way that I can patch the kernel (or whatever) to up the size of the process table to at least 128 entries? -- John D.
