I want to remove "memorylocked" and "maxproc" limits. I am using tcsh shell. I read that if I use "#limit memorylocked unlimited" and "#limit maxproc unlimited" then they will be set to unlimited. I did that as a root user. But after I restarted my computer then again they were all restored to their default values. How can I resolve this and set their values and also "openfiles" value of my Linux to unlimited permanently ? I am using ubuntu 12.04 with a 64 bit system and tcsh shell. I need them to be unlimited to run my simulations. Thanks

Even a temporary way to unlimit them will be good too. I just found out that with temporary unlimited values, my simulation will be ok too. – Babak H Jan 20 at 7:01

You should check out the file /etc/security/limits.conf.
