Subject: is there a limit on how many mintty terminals can be open at once?
Date: Sun, 3 Oct 2021 12:25:15 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0f3a01d7b873$3fa7f280$bef7d780$@pdinc.us> (raw)
I got the "Error: Could not fork child process: There are no available terminals (-1)" error.
Closing N minty terminals allowed me to open exactly N more.
My google fu is poor, since I cannot seem to find relevant pages.
What is the limit?
Can the limit be configured?
$ ps -f | grep mintty | wc -l
42
$ dir /dev/ | grep pty | wc -l
46
