The easiest way is to check using the getrlimit() system call along with RLIMIT_NPROC, or via the "ulimit -u" built-in in bash or csh. "ulimit -u" in bash, sh, or zsh and "limit | grep proc" in csh, tcsh, and zsh too should easily show up the success of the kernel build. But pay attention to your shell setup files: they can change the kernel set limits (to reduced values)! -- Greetings Pete _______________________________________________ darwin-kernel mailing list | darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/darwin-kernel Do not post admin requests to the list.
