I am connected to remote machine Linux RH6 directly via ssh (key imported on server), when I execute a shell script with arguments for restarting the java service, I have a strange issue with ulimit:

• when I manually run ./script.sh stop;./catalina.sh start I see that the number of open files is not OK (1024) as defined in system file limits.conf;
• when a weekly job is executed which I have set up from cron, I have the correct value from limits.conf (16,384);
• when I do /bin/su - user and then restart, I have the correct value
  also.

I need a solution to modify the script to somehow source my system value and have real login shell in the bash script and to have the correct number of open files when I need to restart the service manually.

Hard limit for current shell:

ulimit -Ha
open files                      (-n) 4096

Global:

cat /etc/security/limits.conf
oracle hard nofile 16384

Problem: when cron job is executed number of opened files is 16384 good!, when i run script from current shell ./script.sh stop; ./script.sh start i have 4096. Question is how to get 16384 when i run script manually ?

Ps editing of bashrc and bash_profile with ulimit -n <number> does not help.

I have following scenario: i am connected to remote machine Linux RH6 directly via ssh (key imported on server),when i execute shell script with arguments for restart of java service i have strange issue with ulimit:

• when i do manually ./script.sh stop;./catalina.sh start i see that number of open files is not OK (1024) as defined in system file  limits.conf
• when weekly job is executed which i have setup from cron i have correct value from limits.conf (16,384)
• when i do /bin/su - user and then restart i have correct value
  also.

I need a solution to modify script to somehow source my system value and to have real login shel in bash script and to have correct number of open files when i need to restart service manually.
