RE: Get it working under Mac OS X by Robert on Monday September 28th 2009, 20:07 I think this is what your looking for. Copied from: serverfault.com/questions/15564/where-are-the-default-ulimits-specified-on-os-x-10-5 Under Leopard the initial process is launchd. The default ulimits of each process are inherited from launchd. For reference the default (compiled in) limits are $ sudo launchctl limit cpu unlimited unlimited filesize unlimited unlimited data 6291456 unlimited stack 8388608 67104768 core 0 unlimited rss unlimited unlimited memlock unlimited unlimited maxproc 266 532 maxfiles 256 unlimited To change any of these limits, add a line (you may need to create the file first) to /etc/launchd.conf, the arguments are the same as passed to the launchctl command. For example sudo echo "limit maxfiles 1024 unlimited" > /etc/launchd.conf However launchd has already started your login shell, so the simplest way to make these changes take effect is to restart our machine.
