Increasing the soft limit

To increase the soft limit for C shells, enter:

limit descriptors n

For Bourne shells, enter:

ulimit -Sn new_value

where n is the current value for the soft limit, and new_value is the value to which you want to increase the soft limit.

NoteYou can use the preceding commands in your RUN_server_name file to increase the hard and soft limits. The RUN_server_name file is a Bourne shell script, be sure to use the Bourne shell versions of these commands in the RUN_server_name file.
