- Subject: Fork: Resource temporarily unavailable when trying to run lots of processes
Hi there,
Does anyone know of a quick way to increase the number of processes that can be
run in the background? I need to have a large number of copies of a small
utility listening at the same time and with nothing else open I can only
achieve 62 copies before I get the message below ("gentask" is the name of the
script):
./gentask: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
and everything stops. Some snippets of information from Cygcheck are attached.
Thank you in advance.
Roberto.
