With bash on Berkeley the ulimit command does much more than set the max size of a disk file. For example, on my system right now: Hammer1 /usr/karl $ ulimit -a core file size (blocks) unlimited data seg size (kbytes) 32768 file size (blocks) unlimited max memory size (kbytes) 14948 stack size (kbytes) 512 cpu time (seconds) unlimited pipe size (512) 1 open files 64 Ulimit options include -SHacmdstfnp. C-shell users have the "limit" command. Try it, "limit". You can say stuff like "limit datasize 16384". "man csh" for details... -- -- Email info@NeoSoft.com for info on getting interactive Internet access. "In a minute, I'll burp up your droid."
