Often there is confusion between the getrlimit call and the builtin ulimit from bash From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of A Joshi Sent: Friday, April 10, 2009 2:55 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: ** UNIX qu Hi, What is a good way to set ulimit stack value at OS/UNIX level permanently. Right now I can set it for a session but I want it set permanently. Thanks for help. When I say ulimit it says unlimited but when I do ulimit -a I see some values that are not unlimited. I think unlimited is also limited by the settings on the server and is not really unlimited. Thanks
