Ulimits are inherited by all child processes; lowering them is always
possible, raising them may be an administrator-only action.
bash's manual (man 1 bash) has an informative chapter on ulimit.
Otherwise you may want to check setrlimit(2).
System-wide settings may be set in /etc/security/limits.conf (or
/etc/limits.conf, depending on your distro). Man 5 limits.conf has the
details (at least on my Ubuntu Raring system).
