title: setting launchctl limit maxfiles 512 unlimited results in error: Neither the hard nor soft limit for "maxfiles" can be unlimited

  <p>I'm following this tutorial:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://blog.ghostinthemachines.com/2010/01/19/mac-os-x-fork-resource-temporarily-unavailable/" rel="noreferrer">http://blog.ghostinthemachines.com/2010/01/19/mac-os-x-fork-resource-temporarily-unavailable/</a></p>
  
  <p>And where it tells me to follow the process I follow in my screenshot: </p>
  
  <p><code>[laptop:~ user]$ launchctl limit maxproc   512 1024</code></p>
  
  <p><code>[laptop:~ user]$ launchctl limit maxfiles  512 unlimited</code></p>
  
  <p><code>[laptop:~ user]$ launchctl limit</code></p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to perform the following setup:</p>
  
  <p>launchctl limit maxfiles  512 unlimited</p>
  
  <p>My system (Lion) tells me what I'm doing is wrong, and silly, but It's already set unlimited... so I don't know what's going on, or why it's behaving this way. </p>
  
  <p>Should I just go ahead and give it a specific value?</p>
