ulimit -v does not work

This is never going to work from sagenb as far as I know. The main sage process needs to be ulimited, not sagenb. And there was the issue with remote launches of sage via ssh.

But sagenb process is launching new sage processes and THEY have to be ulimited, so why wouldn't it work?

[ppurka]

Well.. it is possible to do so locally. I think the last time I looked into this, the main problem was doing this remotely without patching the main sage script. Currently I run a ulimited process by patching the main sage script to recognize a specific username and set ulimits.

Maybe one could at least put a script, or patch, somewhere and say "use this for ulimit to work"?

[ppurka]

One way could be to introduce a ulimit argument to sage (if it is already
not present) and call sage using that argument
