[comp.unix.aux] "MAXUMEM", and process limits

schiebel@cs.wvu.wvnet.edu (Darrell Schiebel) (05/10/91)

	I am tring to set the memory limit for processes something similar
	to the "C-shell" "limit datasize <whatever>". I tried changing
	the kernal parameters via "kconfig MAXUMEM = <whatever>. Unfortuately
	when I did this the system got very flaky, infact it didn't boot
	up at all and I had to restore "/unix" from a backup.

	Is it possible to set the memory limit for JUST the current process
	and its decendants??????
