User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.0i Hi, I have the following line in my /etc/zshenv: ulimit -c 20000 1. This is a legacy from the Bash. I read zsh's manpage but couldn't find a clear statement about what happens if neither -S nor -H are given. 2. I get problems with this command when a process reduces the hard limit and calls a subprocess. So I wonder whether I get the semantics of /etc/zshenv and ulimit wrong and ulimit should in fact be in another /etc/z* file. Could someone explain where my error is? tia, Thorsten -- Im übrigen gilt ja hier derjenige, der auf den Schmutz hinweist, für viel gefährlicher als der, der den Schmutz macht. - Kurt Tucholsky
