Re: increasing the 512 process limit at run-time?

[Mr. James W. Laferriere]

	Hello Matt ,  At what uptime does one hit this limit ?
uptime
  4:40am  up 444 days, 12:58,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
uname -a
Linux filesrv2 2.2.6 #1 SMP Thu Jul 1 20:33:30 PDT 1999 i686 unknown

	Not that that is anything spectacular , just looking for
	rough idea of uptime before hitting the NR_TASKS limit .
