Is it possible to increase "Max open files" parameter for working process ? I mean this parameter:
cat /proc/<pid>/limits | grep files Thanks for your advices
695
Linux systems limit the number of file descriptors that any one process may open to 1024 per process. (This condition is not a problem on Solaris machines, x86, x64, or SPARC).
The "Too many open files" message means that the operating system has reached the maximum "open files" limit and will not allow SecureTransport, or any other running applications to open any more files. The open file limit can be viewed with the ulimit command: The ulimit -aS command displays the current limit.
You can find the limit for a process with pid in /proc/<pid>/limits and there is an entry Max open files .
By default, up to 512 files can be open simultaneously at the stream I/O level. This level includes files opened and accessed using the fopen , fgetc , and fputc family of functions. The limit of 512 open files at the stream I/O level can be increased to a maximum of 8,192 by use of the _setmaxstdio function.
Another option is to use the prlimit command (from the util-linux package). For example if you want to set the maximum number of open files for a running process to 4096:
prlimit -n4096 -p pid_of_process
