In a system startup script:
# raise the hard process limit
# man sysctl will show you many system settings
sysctl -w kern.maxproc=1000
# this sets the hard value in the shell
ulimit -H -u512
# this sets the soft value
ulimit -u256 -s8192 -d12288
This will reset your limits for all jobs. If you just want to change for
one process, then sudo the commands in the shell. ulimit is a /bin/sh
command. limit is the tcsh/zsh/csh equivalent.
