settings for maxfiles kernel parameter



Hi,


I have HPUX,

The kernel settings for maxfiles and maxfiles_lim is 4096.

But I do get an error from the process.
The process works OK for some time if I set from the console the
command "ulimit -n 1024" and restart the process.

1)Why do we need to set again at the console? Setting the kernel
paramter maxfiles is not enough?
2)I have verified the file /stand/system,the entry for maxfiles is
correct(4096)?

Could anybody tell me why do I need to set again at the user level even
though the kernel paramter is set to 4096.

Thanks in advance,
Mehaboob
