SYNOPSIS:
How to increase the number of files a process can open
DETAIL DESCRIPTION:
How to increase the number of files a process can open.
SOLUTION SUMMARY:
1. ulimit -n 1024 for /bin/sh and /bin/ksh users
2. limit descriptors 1024 for csh users
3. Alternatively for all users, one can use adb and write directly
to the system rlims structure;
# adb -w -k /kernel/unix /dev/mem
rlimits+28?W 400 # this is the max value for
Solaris 2.3
rlimtts+28/W 400
There is a hard limit of 1024 in the kernel.
--------------------------------------------
Note 2.4 limit is changed by use of the /etc/system file.
entry is:
rlim_fd_max.
