I have a perl script that spawns 60 child process. I get an “out of memory error” and no other additional error message to know the cause of it. what does it denote? Is it because i have 60 child process running in the system simultaneous i get a out of memory error. I dont have big array or hash maps in the process so there should not be memory issue. The child Process just greps the file.
Solaris 10 is the OS.

  1. What is the maximum limit of child process that i can fork in
    Solaris 10?
  2. What does out of memory denotes?

    Some systems have a 64 child limit. I guess you found one. Reap the ones that have completed to spawn more.
