I am trying to login to lectura from home this evening and lectura does not complete the login.
"The shell accepts my password and then just seems to hang...
If I <control><C> then I get a an odd prompt:
[1] 6084
[user@lectura ~]$ pwd
No more processes.
[user@lectura ~]$ ls
No more processes.
..."
The above is often seen in runaway jobs, in this case, you seem to have reached the limit of your number of processes, maxproc, allocation.
Try it now--we killed off your Tomcat process.
Rather than using top you should perhaps try,
ps -eaf | grep user
to show your processes.
If you wish to view your account's assigned limits:
If using tcsh or csh, use the limit command. limit will report soft limits. limit -h will report hard limits. Details are on the manual page for tcsh or csh.
If using bash or sh, use the ulimit command. ulimit -a will report soft limits. ulimit -aH will report hard limits. Details are on the manual page for limit, or bash, or sh.
