- Thanks to several people for their replies along these lines. I'm
- afraid I haven't made myself clear. Finding out and changing the
- number of processes allowed per user is trivial on AIX. The lsattr
- command will tell you; smit will both display it and let you change it.
-
- Finding out how many total processes may run on the system at once
- is not trivial. Does anyone understand where this value is stored,
- or if calculated, how?
-
- This came about because of a sick system that kept putting out the
- message: 'No more processes' no matter who tried to start up a new
- one (not just people already running near the max).

- Neither Stanford nor the DOE would be caught dead with these opinions.
- Nor do they consult me when formulating theirs.
