I have a situation I can't figure out... whenever the number of processes
on my machine reaches around 80, sendmail can't deliver mail to my account
("unknown mailer error 2") when I have .forward set to pipe mail into a
process. Sometimes the bounce will contain a "Cannot fork" error.
It's as if some mysterious number of processes limit is being hit.
However:
kern.maxproc: 980
kern.maxfilesperproc: 1960
kern.maxprocperuid: 979
Here's my .forward:
"|IFS=' ' && p=/usr/local/bin/procmail && test -f $p && exec $p -Yf- || exit 75 #archie"
Any ideas?
Is there an equivalent of csh's "limit" command in sh that I need to use?
Thanks,
-Archie
