Guys, I have a problem with one of my rake tasks. It loads a very large yaml file into the db, but because of the default limitation on stack size in the Linux shell, the task craps out. Executing "ulimit -s 16384" fixes the issue, and the task completes just fine. What I''d like to do within my task is this (in ruby-ish pseudo): if on_linux? set_stack_of_running_shell_via_ulimit 16384 end Is there any way to do this? Can I modify the attributes of the shell that is running me? Thanks!
