prlimit not found centos6.3

  • 772

After finding out that ulimit -m no longer does anything on linux... I am now investigating the use of prlimit.

I have found that this is supposed to exists as part of util-linux / util-linux-ng, I have this installed on my system, however

find / -name prlimit

Yields zero results; I currently have installed

util-linux-ng.x86_64 0:2.17.2-12.7.el6_3

I have tried running

yum update util-linux-ng

Which brought me to version

2.17.2-12.18.0.1.el6

With still the same issue; I am running CenotOS 6.3, upgrading is not an option.

linux centos ulimit

    Don't mix up a syscall with a user space command. prlimit(1) the user space program was added to util-linux 2.21 to make use of the prlimit(2) syscall available since Linux kernel 2.6.36. BTW, the default kernel on CentOS 6 is 2.6.32.
