hi,
I'd like to have the /proc/<pid>/limits file world readable, but I'm not sure this could cause some security issue.. thoughts?
The "limit" file was as a debug feature by following commit: - proc: export a processes resource limits via /proc/pid commit d85f50d5e1aa99ab082035f94265847521819e58 Author: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com>
