i downloaded that file to edit but am unsure where to add that line as there is some codeing in there already i need to make a program run at 1024 mb and maybe 3gb if i need it to i can run the program at 512 but when i tell it to use more memory it wont start up
If you download that file and re-upload it, you can totally hose your system if you do not ensure it is a UNIX file and not a Windows file when it returns.
Edit the file on the server in place. NEVER do what you have just done.
/etc/security/limits.d/ directory is empty im running centos 5
