- Hello,
- we have an Indigo 4000 Elan in our institute. A few days or so we hooked
- up a second X-terminal to it, so that there are now three persons working
- on this machine. As a result, we got errors from cron saying that a process
- couldn't be forked. 'ps' showed (shortly after that) a total of 91
- processes running. My question:
- Does
- #define NPROC 96 /* # processes */
- in /usr/sysgen/master.d/kernel indeed define the maximum number of processes ?
- If so, can I just increase this number and do a 'autoconfig -f' ?
-
- Thanks for any hints,
-
