[gmx-users] How to check memoryuse limit?

[Alif M Latif]

Dear GROMACS users,

I'm having problem using genbox while trying to solvate my micelle structure. The program produced error "cannot allocate memory". I checked the mailing list archive, and found that Dr. David once told to check the limit command. I tried to type "limit" but the command was not found. Do I need to move to specific directory to use this command? I'm using OS Kernel: Linux version 2.6.9-34.ELsmp (Red Hat 3.4.5-2). Or Maybe something wrong anywhere else?.. I've include the error message (just in case).
