UNIX computers have predefined limits that are designed to limit or prevent the excessive use of resources by a single process. If a process exceeds its limit, the operating system might kill the process without cleanup and without generating diagnostics. To avoid premature termination of running processes, use the limits specified in the following table.
You can use the limit command to check the current limits in your computer. On some operating systems, this command is reserved for "Super Users" only.
