 It may be necessary to log out of your terminal session and log back in for these settings to take effect.
+On Linux platforms using systemd, you may be able to work around the problem with a systemd file like this example (in a file like /etc/systemd/system/vufind.service):
+<code>
+Description=VuFind Starter
+After=network.target httpd.service
+[Service]
+Type=forking
+ExecStart=/bin/sh -l -c '/usr/local/vufind/solr.sh start' -x
+PIDFile=/usr/local/vufind/solr/vendor/bin/solr-8080.pid
+User=vufind-user
+ExecStop=/bin/sh -l -c "/usr/local/vufind/solr.sh stop" -x
+SuccessExitStatus=0
+LimitNOFILE=65000
+LimitNPROC=65000
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+</code>
+(Obviously the /usr/local/vufind path and the vufind-user username should be customized to reflect your local needs).
+Once this is in place, you can use "sudo service vufind start" and "sudo service vufind stop" to start and stop the process, and appropriate limits will be applied.
