#!/bin/sh## ulimit.hack: Create an intermediate program for use in# between kernel initialization and init startup.# This is needed on a 3b system if the standard CDLIMIT is# so small that the dumped Emacs file cannot be written.# This program causes everyone to get a bigger CDLIMIT value# so that the dumped Emacs can be written out.## Users of V.3.1 and later should not use this; see etc/MACHINES# and reconfig your kernel's CDLIMIT parameter instead.## Caveat: Heaven help you if you screw this up. This puts# a new program in as /etc/init, which then execs the real init.#cat > ulimit.init.c << \EOFmain(argc, argv)int argc;char *argv[];{ ulimit(2, 262144L); /* "2" is the "set" command. */ /* 262,144 allows for 128Mb files to be written. */ /* If that value isn't suitable, roll your own. */ execv("/etc/real.init", argv);}EOF## Compile it and put it in place of the usual init program.#cc ulimit.init.c -o ulimit.initmv /etc/init /etc/real.initmv ulimit.init /etc/ulimit.initln /etc/ulimit.init /etc/initmv ulimit.init.c /etc/ulimit.init.c # to keep src for this hack nearby.chmod 0754 /etc/initexit 0## Upon system reboot, all processes will inherit the new large ulimit.
