I am having a problem with sybase running out of processes. I get a
message like Pss: out of processes. I have maxusers set in my kernel
to 128. I am running Sybase 4.0 on a Sparc 2 under 4.1.3. The database
is running in a raw partition. I can't find anything about how to
increase the processes.


Thanx in Advance.

I believe this is a acknowledged Sybase bug: essentially, Sybase does not seem to clean up properly when a client connection is closed ungracefully ( e.g. via CTRL-C, or a core dump, etc. ) One thing that seems to help is to write a signal handler for CTRL-C, and for the normal fatal UNIX signals for segmentation faults, etc. In these signal handlers, close the Sybase connections gracefully.
