While executing a backup script sometimes I get fork errors.
Maybe I need to increase some ulimit parameter but which value should I use and how do I know if that could really be the problem?
I was told to get the ulimit -p value. It was 128. But how many do I am using. I tried determine that by using ps > ps.txt but clearly is not that simple.
How can I determine what is the process count used compare to the ulimit -p value. If it is close then I need help changing it permanently or at least for the backup script job.
