[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60993] Environment became unstable and does not recognize basic commands

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #60993 (project octave):

There's a workaround to protect you against resource exhaustion if you think
you might forget to close files, but you'll have to port it from Linux to
Windows yourself. Type the following line in a new Octave session, or in a
script that opens lots of files:


system(sprintf("prlimit --pid %d --nofile=100", getpid()));
# here 100 is the maximum number of files that you want to allow Octave to
open. Change it as you need.


If Windows doesn't have prlimit, you'll have to find out how to set resource
limits in Windows.

But this is not an Octave bug or a limitation in any case. Resource limits can
be broken with any programming language, usually leading to a frozen system.
