rlim_fd_max questions

[grindel]

Hi all

In my /etc/system, I have
set rlim_fd_max=5763
set rlim_fd_cur=2048
Are these limits on a PID basis?
If a user has "ulimit -n 2048" in their profile, and a process they are running tries to go over 2048, does it just die?
Thanks for any enlightenment....
Rick

Rick, there is a good document on sunsolve.sun.com
Document ID: 01406
Title: Technote 01406
Synopsis: Maximum number of open files

The process will do whatever the prgrammer coded for the scenario "not getting a filehandle", this maybe an exit or referencing an uninitialized pointer and causing a SEGV
