ulimit -s not working on OSX Snow Leopard

  • 772

I'm trying to raise the upper level of user processes on my machine. ulimit -s doesn't seem to do a thing:

I've also tried launchctl limit with the same results. Don't know what else to do :S

mac-osx configuration process osx-snow-leopard

  1. Never tried setting this for a user before, but I'd venture a guess to try sudo -u pfernand-md ulimit -s 1024

  3. The problem here is that you can't raise a hard limit after you've already set it once.

    I had to remove the original ulimit -s 128 that was in one of my config files, specifically /etc/launchd
