ulimit is built-in to the command shell program. I'd suggest you encase
your commands in a shell script
with the ulimit at the start, and invoke that, via su, from rc.local.
However, I suspect that will still reject the request. I'd suggest you
look at starting the programs,
then use the renice command (see man renice) to alter the priority once
they are running.
You need to be root to raise the priority of a process above normal.
