I have two systems both running CentOS 7.4
one shows pid_max as 32768 the other shows pid_max as 49152
Why might that be ? I would have thought they would be the same. I have not changed them.
Thanks,
Jerry

I think that max is calculated as a function of number of CPUs. Maybe those two installations differ in that regard?

Hi Peter, Thanks... The machine with the higher PID number is a Xeon while the other one is a i7. So that could be why its different.
Thanks
