This doesn't influence the maximal number of simultaneous processes. The official way is to use the csh builtin `limit', or the Bourne- alike shell builtin `ulimit' to increase this number. Alas, our /bin/sh in previous releases didn't grok `ulimit', so the above hack was about your only chance. For a recent system, simply put ulimit -S -u 100 for example on top of your .xsession file (this is perhaps one thing where you would love it most). The setting is inherited to the children, and the xsession shell is the grandfather of all your processes under X11. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
