Yes, if the process is being started via a shell, ulimit seems the
way to go. In SysV init, either in the start script or perhaps in
/etc/defaults (which is then picked up by the start script).

Note that /etc is "taboo" for the distro[1], i.e. it will install
something there, but in won't touch anything which wasn't installed
by the distro, at least not without asking.

Sure systemd has a way to do that, but for that I'll have to defer
to the systemd experts.

[1] at least for civilised distros, like Debian.
