Files related to "maximum limits" article are missing

[jagthedrummer]

Your blog post here (https://wilsonmar.github.io/maximum-limits/) points to some files that are no longer in this repo.

https://github.com/wilsonmar/mac-setup/blob/master/configs/limit.maxfiles.plist

https://github.com/wilsonmar/mac-setup/blob/master/configs/limit.maxproc.plist

Are there newer and better ways of setting those limits?

@wilsonmar thank you for your tutorial you're doing a greatjob 👍

I just wanted to add to @jagthedrummer's comment that there are some typos in the files:

• limit.maxfiles.plist
• limit.maxproc.plist

So when executing the command (eg: sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/limit.maxfiles.plist) I was getting the error:

/Library/LaunchDaemons/limit.maxfiles.plist: Invalid property list
Load failed: 109: Invalid property list

So i had to fix it like this:

limit.maxfiles.plist:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
  <dict>
    <key>Label</key>
      <string>limit.maxfiles</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
      <array>
        <string>launchctl</string>
        <string>limit</string>
        <string>maxfiles</string>
        <string>524288</string>
        <string>524288</string>
      </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
      <true/>
    <key>ServiceIPC</key>
      <false/>
  </dict>
</plist>

limit.maxproc.plist:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
  <dict>
    <key>Label</key>
      <string>limit.maxproc</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
      <array>
        <string>launchctl</string>
        <string>limit</string>
        <string>maxproc</string>
        <string>2048</string>
        <string>2048</string>
      </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
      <true/>
    <key>ServiceIPC</key>
      <false/>
  </dict>
</plist>

Sorry about this. I've put your corrected files in the repo and automating it in mac-setup.sh
