Hello managers
thanx for the suggestions and it worked.Following are
replies
Robert M.Lang suggests:
-----------------------
Use dxkerneltuner to change the kernel parameter:

                   max-proc-per-user

                   The default is 64
                   
mcaplin@miami.edu suggest:
--------------------------
The easiest way is through dxkerneltuner (but you
could use sysconfig as
well). Look in the "proc" subsystem and modify the
values for "max_proc_per_user".
I also keep "max_threads_per_user" proportional
 (if you double max_proc, double max_threads).
 
Noghri suggested:
------------------
                   you should just have to do this:

                   # dbx -k /vmunix
                   dbx version 3.11.10
                   Type 'help' for help.

                   thread 0xfffffc004fe06a80 stopped
at [thread_block:2376
                   ,0xfffffc00002bc630] Source not
available

                   warning: Files compiled -g3:
parameter values probably wrong
                   (dbx) p maxusers
                   64
                   (dbx) patch maxusers = 2048
                   2048
                   (dbx) p maxusers
                   2048
                   (dbx) quit

                   2048 is the maximum you can set it
to.
                   I dont belive you have to reboot
either.
 
 Tim cutts suggested:
---------------------
                   You can change this with
sysconfigdb. The subsystem you want is proc,
                   and the parameter you want is
max-proc-per-user.

                   Don't set it too high though; this
might be a software problem. If the
                   user is running a program which
creates child processes, check with the
                   user that the program is reaping
its children correctly - if ps lists
                   lots of <dead> or so-called
"zombie" processes, this is a sign that the
                   parent program is buggy, and you
need to get the user to fix it rather
                   than raise the process limit.
