The maxrequests parameter specifies
the maximum number of concurrent tasks that can be handled by the
Client daemon.
maxrequests=<number>- Description
- Set the value in the range 1 - 10,000 to specify the number of
concurrent tasks. A task can be one of the following:

The maxrequests parameter can be use to
prevent runaway conditions, where an application can, in error, submit
an excessive number of requests to a server. The actual limit might
be less than the value specified if other operating system limits,
such as memory constraint or communication sessions, come into effect.This parameter is in the CLIENT section of the configuration file.
