Error 358 on SCO OpenServer 5. unable to fork subprocess

Openserver5 has a dynamic kernel, so the kbase for increasing the
NPROC and NSWAP will not apply here. The only solution is to increase
the swap space. Normally the swap space should be 2 times the amount
of physical memory. Increasing the swap space can be performed in the
following manner. Note: This is a OS command and SCO should be
consulted as well. Another note to make about SCO dynamic kernel. It
doesn't require a reboot of the system for the new kernel parameters
to take effect. They are truly dynamic.


You need to be at a mutli-user run level and logged in as root.

#touch /swap
#swap -a /swap 0 60000

The above will add 30MB of swap space to the system. The above
information was taken from Article ID 482712 on SCO's Web page.
