Hello,
I am a new user of a RS600/320 machine running AIX OS. I have some problems
running fortran programms in the background successively.After about the
tenth running i get the message :
1501-222 Cannot fork processes,Resources temporarily unavailable ..
Does anyone know anything about that ?? Is this a problem of AIX or
i have limits using system resources ?? How can I solve this problem??
Any ideas??
Thanks, Popi havakimike (Michael Stefanik) (01/31/91)

There is a configurable limit to the maximum number of processes per user; this value may be too low for your usage. Login as root and try the following command: # chdev -l sys0 -a maxuproc=100 This will change the maximum number of processes per user to 100; however, you might want to make sure that your programs aren't "running away" from you and recursivley creating instances of themselves, or forking processes that don't croak. NOTE: Unlike many other flavors of UNIX, you don't have to perform the crude rain-dance of rebooting the machine. -- Michael Stefanik | Opinions stated are not even my own.
