NAME
       maxuprc	-  limits  the maximum number of concurrent user processes per
       user

VALUES
   Failsafe
   Default
   Allowed values
   Recommended value
DESCRIPTION
       is a dynamic tunable that limits the maximum number  of	processes  per
       user.  Only root can have more than the number of processes limited by

   Who is Expected to Change This Tunable?
       System administrators can change the value of depending on the usage of
       the system.

   Restrictions on Changing
       None.  This tunable is dynamic.

   When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Raised?
       The value of should be changed if users	require	 more  processes  than
       what  they  are currently allowed by If fails with an error value of it
       could be an indication that was reached by that particular user.	  How‐
       ever,  that  is	not  the  only reason that could cause to fail with an
       errno value of may be returned if system tunable has  been  reached  or
       memory on the system has been exhausted.

   What Are the Side Effects of Raising the Value?
       Raising the value of allows a single user to consume a greater percent‐
       age of the system resources.

   When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Lowered?
       The value of should be lowered when individual users  are  monopolizing
       system resources by running too many concurrent processes.

   What Are the Side Effects of Lowering the Value?
       Applications that depend on a large number of processes may behave dif‐
       ferently or fail.  Existing processes will  continue  to	 run  but  new
       process creations which would result in the user exceeding will fail.

   What Other Tunable Values Should Be Changed at the Same Time?
       When tuning you should keep in mind the value of

WARNINGS
       All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release specific.  This parame‐
       ter may be removed or have its meaning changed in  future  releases  of
       HP-UX.

       Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may
       cause changes to tunable parameter values.   After  installation,  some
       tunable	parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended val‐
       ues.  For information about the effects of installation on tunable val‐
       ues, consult the documentation for the kernel software being installed.
