Subject: pid_max madness
Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2004 21:12:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <419BB097.8030405@kde.org.uk> (raw)
Let's do:
#echo "-1" >/proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
#cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
-1
#
Madness, isn't ?
I guess that isn't what author ment it to behave like.
Anyway, does it mean that after max unsigned value is reached pids are
going to be negative in value ??
