A solution for Mac OS X process limits: sysctl
Authored by: chrismiles on Nov 21, '05 12:44:14PM
An alternative way to increase the kernel limit is to use the sysctl command. This is handy if you only want to set it temporarily (lasts until system reboot). Example:

sudo sysctl -w kern.maxprocperuid=256
After the above, you can then increase your limit in a local shell (or add to your ~/.bashrc), with:

ulimit -u 256
