13 sysctl can do this:
14
15 carcharias # sysctl -a | grep sem
16 kernel.sem = 250 32000 32 128
17 carcharias # sysctl -e kernel.sem="500 32000 64 256"
18 kernel.sem = 500 32000 64 256
19 carcharias # sysctl -a | grep sem
20 kernel.sem = 500 32000 64 256

22 I don't have any good document pointer as to what each of the values
23 here mean, but googling should turn up something interesting. The
24 32000 seems like a good sized real-world number, I suspect that is the
25 system total, and the others might be per-user or per-process. So I
26 would just start by doubling the others until you either cannot raise
27 them any more or it works...
