Setting Shell Limits for Oracle User on CentOS 5.2
Set Shell Limits for Oracle User
An easy way to set these values is to create a quick script in /tmp. Cut and paste the following commands while logged in as root into a script and run it:
cat >> /etc/security/limits.conf <<EOF1
oracle soft nproc 2047
oracle hard nproc 16384
oracle soft nofile 1024
oracle hard nofile 65536
EOF1
cat >> /etc/pam.d/login <<EOF2
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so
EOF2
cat >> /etc/profile <<EOF3
if [ \$USER = "oracle" ]; then
if [ \$SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
ulimit -p 16384
ulimit -n 65536
else ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
fi
umask 022
fi
EOF3
cat >> /etc/csh.login <<EOF4
if ( \$USER == “oracle” ) then
limit maxproc 16384
limit descriptors 65536
umask 022
endif
EOF4
