Comments welcome. Not really sure if this is the feedback you want. Since I mostly only see it in long running shells, where my suspended processes have accrued, it seems like increasng it by small or fractional increments would be more conservative of memory usage than a doubling strategy. When I see the problem I typically have 10 to 15 processes. It's unlikely I would have much more than 20, because that is getting in the range where it is difficult to manage. -FR. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
