linux equivalent of HP kernal parameters

[mbowler9]

Hello,

I am running RedHat AS 2.1 and I am looking for parameters in linux that are similar to the following HP-UX kernel tuning parameters:

maxssiz: 8388608
maxssiz_64bit: 8388608
maxtsiz: 67108864
maxtsiz_64bit: 1073741824
maxdsiz: 990056448
maxdsiz_64bit: 1073741824
maxfiles: 256
maxfiles_lim: 1024

I am open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

What do those tuning parameters do in HP-UX?

I am not sure what these parameters do in HP-UX, I have never used it. This question was asked of me and I was hoping that someone on here had enough experience with HP-UX and Linux to be able to point me in the right direction. Googling isn't turning up much useful information for me. I am expecting that atleast part of the solution resides in /etc/sysctl.conf.

Thanks

Ok, I just got a pretty good response back from someone on these parameters.

maxssiz
Maxssiz defines the maximum size of the stack of a process

maxtsiz
Maxtsiz defines the maximum size of the text segment of a process

maxdsiz
Maxdsiz defines the maximum size of the data segment of a process

maxfiles
This sets the soft limit for the number of files a process is allowed to have open

I suppose the 64bit ones are self-explanatory?

Any suggestions?

Try looking at the sysctl command.

sysctl -a will show you all the tunable parameters.
