Is there a way to generate limit files under the limits.d directory? about limits

[jrwesolo]

Hello @Joseph-R! Absolutely. That is the intended design of this cookbook. If you take a look at the README.md you should see what your looking for. Are you using the set_limit definition or the limits_config LWRP in your code? Both have an attribute called use_system. That defaults to false so it should be creating the configs under the limits.d directory automatically. It should only be setting the limits.conf file if your are passing use_system true.

Ah, okay. I guess I didn't fully understand that from the README.md.

All of my code atm looks like this:

set_limit '*' do
  type 'hard'
  item 'nofile'
  value 65536
  use_system true
end

# Set soft and hard limits system-wide for the number of processes a user can run.
set_limit '*' do
  type 'soft'
  item 'nproc'
  value 487503
  use_system true
end

I'll drop the use_system flag and run it through test kitchen. Thanks!
