In your /proc directory you have a bunch of files that you can just edit/overwrite. Whatever you edit them to is the value of the kernel parameter automagically. # echo 8192 >/proc/sys/fs/file-max # echo 32768 >/proc/sys/fs/inode-max # echo 10000 >/proc/sys/kernel/threads-max According to http://www.moses.uklinux.net/patches/lki-2.html, Every process under Linux is dynamically allocated a struct task_struct structure. The maximum number of processes which can be created on Linux is limited only by the amount of physical memory present, and is equal to (see kernel/fork.c:fork_init()): -- \ \/ / _ |~\ _ In God We Trust.
