How to Set Multiple Controls on a Project

The /etc/project file can contain settings for multiple resource controls for each project as well as multiple threshold values for each control. Threshold values are defined in action clauses, which are comma-separated for multiple values.

The following line in the file sets a basic control with no action on the maximum LWPs per task for project x-files. The line also sets a privileged deny control on the maximum LWPs per task. This control causes any LWP creation that exceeds the maximum to fail, as shown in the previous example. Finally, the maximum file descriptors per process are limited at the basic level, which forces failure of any open call that exceeds the maximum.

x-files:101::root::task.max-lwps=(basic,10,none),(privileged,500,deny);
    process.max-file-descriptor=(basic,128,deny)
