[09:28] <snake-venom>  hi there i was adding crons in my ubuntu , i want to know  " wget -O - -q -t 0 " why  "0" in last and somewhere existing cron have "1" in last..
[09:37] <ploxiln> if you run "man wget" it should tell you about all of the options, including the "-t" option, which is "number of tries", where 0 means infinite
[16:04] <jafa> hi guys, I have a conf file to increase the nofiles limit in /etc/security/limits.d for all users and for root. ulimit reports the new limit when invoked from a shell but anything started from rc.local still has the default limit
[16:05] <jafa> is the limit conf only applied after rc.local executes?
[16:15] <jafa> tested a solution - sysctl write then ulimit set at the start of rc.local
[16:29] <rbasak> jafa: IIRC, /etc/security/limits.d/ is read by a PAM module, so applies to logged in users.
[16:29] <rbasak> rc.local is run without going through PAM, so won't apply.
[16:29] <rbasak> jafa: I suggest you replace your use of rc.local with a systemd unit. Limits are tunable directly in systemd units
[16:30] <rbasak> jafa: or alternatively, just use ulimit in rc.local?
[16:35] <jafa> i should look at systemd units
[16:36] <jafa> quick fix was to add "sysctl -w fs.file-max=1000000" and "ulimit -n 1000000" to the start of rc.local
