Hi there, Does anyone know of a quick way to increase the number of processes that can be run in the background? I need to have a large number of copies of a small utility listening at the same time and with nothing else open I can only achieve 62 copies before I get the message below ("gentask" is the name of the script):
./gentask: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable and everything stops. Some snippets of information from Cygcheck are attached. Thank you in advance.
