NOTE:

1.         Throughout this FECO a SPACE in a string is shown by a Ñ .

                  All other spaces are purely cosmetic

2. There have been problems with processes terminating due to exceeding the configured maximum file size limit in Unix.

3. To eliminate these issues ulimit should be set to unlimited.

4. To do this perform the following:

4.1    Copy the /etc/default/login file:

cp Ñ /etc/default/login Ñ /etc/default/login.old

4.2    Then  vi Ñ /etc/default/login

4.3    And replace the figure after ULIMIT= with unlimited

4.4    Move the cursor to the first number after the = and type cw this will put a $ at the end of the
         line, then type unlimited

4.5    The line should now read       ULIMIT=unlimited

4.6    Save this to the file by typing <ESC> :wq! <CR>

4.7    Processes will pick up this new limit when they next login from the Unix login prompt.
