Shades | Software | Charcoal Design. A solution for Mac OS X process limits. I work with Terminal a lot, and often have 30 to 40 windows open, each running my shell and ssh. Add in all the other processes, and I quickly exceed the 100 maxprocperuid limit that OS X defaults to. There have been many proposed solutions to this. You can, for instance, in your shell startup scripts override the limit for that shell instance, and you can run more than 100 processes from that shell, but when you launch a new window, the parent process that launches all apps for you in the GUI is still limited to that 100 process per user limit, and the new window will fail to launch your shell.
It usually fails with the error: login: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable. There are two phases to fixing this problem. First you must change the overall OS limits for maxproc and maxprocperuid to higher values, and then you must make WindowServer run in an environment with the limits raised.
