Limits(4bnu)

Limits -- BNU daemon process limits file

Description

The /etc/uucp/Limits file establishes the maximum number of uucico(1Mbnu) file transport daemons, uuxqt(1Mbnu) remote command request daemons, and uusched(1Mbnu) file transport scheduler daemons permitted to run simultaneously on your machine.

The format of each line of the Limits file is:

   service=daemon  max=num

where daemon can be uucico, uuxqt, or uusched, and num is the maximum number of running daemons permitted for that service.

The Limits file fields are case-sensitive and order-insensitive.

Usage

If the Limits file does not exist, or is unreadable, or if num does not specify a positive number, then an unlimited number of services will be permitted to run on your machine.

If you want to change the contents of the Limits file, use one of the available text editors.

Examples

The following sample Limits file is typical:

   service=uucico max=5
   service=uuxqt max=2
   service=uusched max=2

This example allows five uucicos, two uuxqts, and two uuscheds to run simultaneously.
