Process Management Parameter Summary

ProcessMgmt: CPU

timeslice

Maximum time a process can use the CPU until it is made available to the next process having the same process execution priority. This feature also prevents runaway processes from causing system lock-up. Manpage: timeslice(5).

ProcessMgmt: Memory

maxdsiz

Maximum process data storage segment space that can be used for statics and strings, as well as dynamic data space allocated by sbrk() and malloc() (32-bit processes). Manpage: maxdsiz(5).

ProcessMgmt: Memory

maxdsiz_64bit

Maximum process data storage segment space that can be used for statics and strings, as well as dynamic data space allocated by sbrk() and malloc() (64-bit processes). Manpage: maxdsiz(5).

ProcessMgmt: Memory

maxrsessiz

Maximum size (in bytes) of the RSE stack for any user process on the IPF platform. Manpage: maxrsessiz(5).

ProcessMgmt: Memory

maxrsessiz_64bit

Maximum size (in bytes) of the RSE stack for any user process on the IPF platform. Manpage: maxrsessiz(5).

ProcessMgmt: Memory

maxssiz

Maximum dynamic storage segment (DSS) space used for stack space (32-bit processes). Manpage: maxssiz(5).

ProcessMgmt: Memory

maxssiz_64bit

Maximum dynamic storage segment (DSS) space used for stack space (64-bit processes). Manpage: maxssiz(5).

ProcessMgmt: Memory

maxtsiz

Maximum allowable process text segment size, used by unchanging executable-code (32-bit processes). Manpage: maxtsiz(5).

ProcessMgmt: Memory

maxtsiz_64bit

Maximum allowable process text segment size, used by unchanging executable-code (64-bit processes). Manpage: maxtsiz(5).

ProcessMgmt: Memory

pa_maxssiz_32bit

Maximum size (in bytes) of the stack for a user process running under the PA-RISC emulator on IPF. Manpage: pa_maxssiz(5).

ProcessMgmt: Memory

pa_maxssiz_64bit

Maximum size (in bytes) of the stack for a user process running under the PA-RISC emulator on IPF. Manpage: pa_maxssiz(5).

ProcessMgmt: Process

executable_stack

Allows or denies program execution on the stack. Manpage: executable_stack(5).

ProcessMgmt: Process

maxuprc

Maximum number of processes that any single user can have running at the same time, including login shells, user interface processes, running programs and child processes, I/O processes, etc. If a user is using multiple, simultaneous logins under the same login name (user ID) as is common in X Window, CDE, or Motif environments, all processes are combined, even though they may belong to separate process groups. Processes that detach from their parent process group, where that is possible, are not counted after they detach (line printer spooler jobs, certain specialized applications, etc.). Manpage: maxuprc(5).

ProcessMgmt: Process

nproc

Defines the maximum number of processes that can be running simultaneously on the entire system, including remote execution processes initiated by other systems via remsh or other networking commands. Manpage: nproc(5).

ProcessMgmt: Process

secure_sid_scripts

Controls whether setuid and setgid bits on scripts are honored. Manpage: secure_sid_scripts(5).

ProcessMgmt: Threads

max_thread_proc

Maximum number of threads that any single process can create and have running at the same time. Manpage: max_thread_proc(5).

ProcessMgmt: Threads

nkthread

Maximum number of kernel threads allowed on the system at the same time. Manpage: nkthread(5).
