This question already has an answer here:
How to check, which limit was exceeded? (Process terminated because of ulimit. )
2 answers
I execute below command:
ulimit -a
And it gives output as:
core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority (-e) 0
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals (-i) 14881
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 64
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 1024
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200
real-time priority (-r) 0
stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) 14881
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks (-x) unlimited
Question is: What happens once this limit reached ? How do I come to know that limit has been reached and now I need to execute some steps ?
e.g. If max-user-processes reaches 819200, then does it mean that new process will not start ? OR system will gracefully close most idle process to free up some space ? Or may be something else ?
The mentioned numbers/limitations does add any overhead to system performance ?

If allocating a resource on behalf of an application exceeds the resource limit on that application, then the resource allocation will fail. If the "max user process" value is N, and there are N processes running for the given user, then a call to the fork()
(or related) system call will fail. If the "open files" value is M, and there are M open files, a call to the open()
(or related) system call will fail.
The values don't add any overhead to system performance because the system is always monitoring the values.

The output data you include is not the true resource limits since your shell cheats and adds many unrelated other stuff to this list.
If you like to see what are really resource limits, either use a shell that does not cheat, or check the file
/usr/include/sys/resource.h
and look for the RLIMIT_*
entries in that file.
Now what happens if you reach a soft limit:
An ignorable signal is send to the process. The signals are:
SIGXCPU
SIGXFSZ
If the hard limit is reached, the process is killed.
Note that this does not apply to all limits. Check http://schillix.sourceforge.net/man/man2/getrlimit.2.html for a descriptin on what happens on each specific limit.
