ulimit -n command results in error on OS X Yosemite [JIRA: PMT-154]

[mbbroberg]

The directions for open file limits includes adding the following commands to a .bashrc file or similar. This appears to result in an error when added to the file or run manually:

  bash-3.2$ ulimit -n 65536
  bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Invalid argument
  bash-3.2$ ulimit -u 2048
  bash: ulimit: max user processes: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted

I ran through his recommendation and found ulimitno longer errors! 👍
