Limiting nproc in an upstart job
- by Kevin Schmid
What exactly does the stanza
limit nproc 20 20
in an Upstart job do?
I've read the documentation here (http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Stanzas#limit), and it seems
like it would limit nproc for any process related to the job. However, I don't see this effect when I've added this to my job's conf file - in this specific case, I've confirmed that my test job's single process was able to fork more than 20 child processes. Any advice?
Thanks.
