NPROC and/or MAXUPRC and OS X

[Bob Uncle]

Can anyone tell me how I'd change the NPROC and/or the MAXUPRC kernel
parameters under OS X?

thanks,
bu.

I didn't even know those were available - sysctl -a doesn't list 'em -
if it did, it could set them.

On my OS X:

bash-2.05a$ sysctl -a | grep -i proc
kern.maxproc = 532

On a Free BSD system:

bash-2.05a$ sysctl -a | grep -i proc
kern.maxproc: 8212
kern.maxfilesperproc: 16424
kern.maxprocperuid: 8211
kern.ps_showallprocs: 1
kern.shutdown.kproc_shutdown_wait: 60
vm.max_proc_mmap: 43690
PROC: 416, 0, 268, 173, 182379
debug.sizeof.proc: 412
jail.limits.rlimit_nproc.hard: 8211
jail.limits.rlimit_nproc.current: 17
