Hi, this is what Bash does: $ ulimit -l 64 $ ulimit -l unlimited bash: ulimit: max locked memory: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted $ echo $? 1 While that's the behaviour of Zsh: % ulimit -l 64 % ulimit -l unlimited % echo $? 0 % ulimit -l 64 I find this quite irritating. Is that behaviour by intention? :) regards, -mika-
