| Er, maybe not.
|
| The documented behavior of ulimit shell functions is that only the
| super-user can increase ulimit values, but I just lowered and then
| increased my own as a regular user.
|
| I'm sure I knew the right way to do this at some point...
a regular user can increase the soft limits up to the hard limits,
or decrease the hard and soft limits.
only the super-user can raise the hard limits
by default, ulimit adjusts the soft limits.
passing the '-H' flag sets the hard limits.
so, in your example, add the '-H' flag, and
you won't be able to increase it later.
