The man page says see /proc/sys, but you still have to figure out what valid values would be for each. And some I have no idea what they really control. I am moving an Application from UNIX to Linux and had kernel parameter requirements that had to be set in UNIX for the application to run correctly. Things like: NPROC Maximum number of processes the system can have at once. MAXUPROC Maximum number of processes that a non-super user can have at once. MAXFILES Default number of file descriptors a process is allowed to have at once. NFILES The maximum number of open files for the entire system. I know some of these may not even exist in Linux as a tunable parameter or have a higher value than the application requires, but it would be nice to know what they are also. ------------------------- Jackson C.
