-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Okay, I've got an interesting question, that all my googling hasn't really helped with. I have a client who is using one of our SGI servers and is getting a 'too many files open' error from the java app he is running. I've looked at two different things /proc/sys/fs/file-max (which is 32768) and ulimit which is 1024. My question is, what ulimit actually limit? Based on what I've read it seems to only limit BASH related commands (i.e. BASH shell items, scripts, etc.) and not processes/apps run from a bash shell. Am I right? Can some one hold my hand and tell me what this does? - -- Interdum feror cupidine partium magnarum Europae vincendarum Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEax5FYQhnfRtc0AIRAjDgAJ9wX0mjQJTK4KGL4MWeVr+8e360QQCgo451 4UMra77So9PkZlm7PH9reOw= =iaOc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
