- I have been attaching terminals to an Interactive 3.0 system using Digiboard
- concentrators. After adding the 7th group of 16 async ports, I started getting
- "Init: process table full" (not an exact quote) errors. At this point, I could
- not shut the system down cleanly. Changing the getty lines in /etc/inittab
- to "off" for the last 16 terminals clears up the error condition, but of course
- I can't use the terminals.
-
- Is there a tuneable parameter "init" uses to size it's process table? I don't
- think it's NPROC because the remaining terminals can run lots of processes
- with no problem.
