Description of problem: Tcsh man page implies that the the shell is able to set limits on the amount of memory used by a process (for more information see BZ 220657) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tcsh-6.13-9 How reproducible: Every time I look at the man page. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Consult man page for tcsh when using tcsh to set limitations on a per process basis 2. Set limitations on the process. 3. tclsh accepts limits being set, all looks good then the process bypasses limits set ! WIN! Actual results: Amaze your friends as the limits do not take effect. Expected results: Man page to say that the limits do not apply on Linux Additional info:
Hi, man page contains this: "Controllable resources currently include (if supported by the OS):" This is followed by list of resources. Isn't it enough? Some of them work (e.g. filesize), some don't work (e.g. memoryuse) in RHEL. Or do you think I shall try all resources and then say which aren't supported by the OS?
Vitezslav, I think it is worthwhile documenting what does and doesnt work if you have the bandwidth, otherwise I guess that if supported by the OS is good enough. Wade
