[Linux] Wildcard * not working for nproc
I needed to expand the number of open files or processes for linux systems because HBase demands it. But one day realized that the limits.conf won't take the * wildcard for 'nproc'. It absuredly works for 'nofile'.
So here is how /etc/security/limits.conf suppose to look
# max number of open files * hard nofile 1000000 * soft nofile 1000000 # max number of processes; DO NOT USE * for nproc hbase soft nproc 320000 hbase hard nproc 320000
