ulimit command on 14.04

[Ian A Taylor]

Sir/Madam

I am running 14:04 on one of my machines

lsb_release -a
     No LSB modules are available.
     Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
     Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
     Release:    14.04
     Codename:    trusty

uname -a
     Linux lucky1 3.13.0-79-generic #123-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 19 14:27:58 
UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

But even as root when I issue the ulimit -a  command I get

  ulimit: Command not found.


Any idea why this is so and howto fix it would be sincerely appreciated

Yours sincerely
