I see that I could've used /usr/local/jdk-1.4.2/jre/bin/ControlPanel instead, too, for a standalone version thereof. >Also, I've had one person report that setting ulimits was not >enough, they had to change login.conf for their login class >instead (IIRC). Here it worked with ulimit -Sd 500000 before starting firefox, using a little script like this: $ cat bin/ff #! /bin/sh ( /usr/local/bin/firefox </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 & ) Without redirecting stdin/stdout, mplayer hangs if you use it as helper for movie stuff. Without the ulimit (having an own default of 262144 via login.conf), it does not work, but yield no error message either. >-Kurt Thanks again. Kind regards, Hannah.
