Checking the Limits an application is imposed during run

If you wish to look at a specific application limits during run, you can do the following

pgrep fortcom
12345

* I used for fortcom, but it could be any application you wish to take a look.

cat /proc/12345/limits
Limit Soft Limit Hard Limit Units
Max cpu time unlimited unlimited seconds
Max file size unlimited unlimited bytes
Max data size unlimited unlimited bytes
Max stack size 8388608 unlimited bytes
Max core file size 0 unlimited bytes
Max resident set unlimited unlimited bytes
Max processes 4096 2190327 processes
Max open files 1024 4096 files
Max locked memory unlimited unlimited bytes
Max address space unlimited unlimited bytes
Max file locks unlimited unlimited locks
Max pending signals 2190327 2190327 signals
Max msgqueue size 819200 819200 bytes
Max nice priority 0 0
Max realtime priority 0 0
Max realtime timeout unlimited unlimited us

* You can take a look that there is no limits to Max locked Memory and Max file locks are unlimited.

Using Find and Tar Together to Backup and Archive

Point 1: If you wish to find files in a single folder and tar them into gzip-compressed archive. You can use a one-liner to do it.

find -maxdepth 1 -name '*.sh' | tar czf script.tgz -T -

“-maxdepth” refers to the current depth of 1 or current directory

“-T -” causes tar to read its list from a file rather than the command line. The “-” means standard input and output.

You should have a file is script.tgz

 

Point 2: If you wish to find files in a single folder and tar them into bzip2-compressed archive.

find -maxdepth 1 -name '*.sh' | tar cjf script.tgz -T -

Checking Disk Usage within the subfolders

I like this command which I often use to look into the dish usages at the sub folder level to check for large usages

du -h -d 1
1.3M    ./Espresso-BEEF
65M     ./MATLAB
478M    ./Abaqus
10G     ./COMSOL
8.3M    ./Gaussian2
316K    ./scripts
4.9M    ./NB07
647M    ./pytorch-GAN
31M     ./Gaussian
12G     .

where

  • -h refers to human-readable
  • -d refers to depth level. By default, it is 0 which is the same as summarize
