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. Kris Hampel, Solid State Theory Group, Physics, Imperial College. =====> kris@sst.ph.ic.ac.uk <=====
