Actions on Resource Control Values

For each threshold value that is placed on a resource control, you can associate one or more actions.

You can choose to deny the resource requests for an amount that is greater than the threshold.
You can choose to send a signal to the violating or observing process if the threshold value is reached.

Due to implementation restrictions, the global properties of each control can restrict the set of available actions that can be set on the threshold value. A list of available signal actions is presented in the following table. For additional information on signals, see signal(3HEAD).
