Not sure about the correct comand, I used "launchctl" (more
specifically: "/etc/launchd.conf") to set the limit.
But this did not help.
IIRC, you have to restart the system.
Well, it does seem to be slower than normal. Software Update got
an error
while downloading 27 MB iPod Updater. Xcode would not open the man
page for
sysctl, and neither would a bash shell...
Jerrys-Powerbook:~ jk$ man sysctl
/usr/bin/groff:fatal error: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
until I terminated those ten Terminal windows running "top", then
it worked.
Exactly that kind of symptoms I'm talking about -- some applications
(an increasing number, I'd say) don't launch anymore, others still do.
FIX
So I decided to quit about 15 of the 30 applications that were
running, and
after that, I launched my app again, and now it works.
So, it doesn't seem like max processes, but it does have to do with
the load
on the machine.
That's possible -- anway, after increasing the maxproc limit and
commiting a restart, I've never seen those issues on my PB again.
I thought the MacOS was bulletproof, at least that if it starts
hitting
limits it should tell you about it. Does anyone know what might have
happened?
I still hold on to the maxproc limit being the problem's cause ;-)
Also, why is it that only some process launches are affected?
That's an interesting question...
Best,
Dirk Stegemann
