My question: how to list number of open files
suggested solutions:
use the 'lsof' program (Freeware) or 'ofiles' (possibly creating a
time-stamped monitoring script)
ftp://vic.cc.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/lsof/ (or any mirror)

Subject: determining number of open files: howto?
Hi all,
I'm encountering the (well-known) error msg "too many open files".
The strange thing is, I already once adjusted the kernel values / ulimit:
max-proc-per-user = 64
max-threads-per-user = 256
max-per-proc-stack-size = 33554432
max-per-proc-data-size = 1073741824
max-per-proc-address-space = 1073741824
open-max-soft = 4096
open-max-hard = 4096
maxusers = 640
I think those are already high values, right? For a while this seemed to
solve the problem, until recently.
I am wondering how I can determine the number of files opened at the time
the error occurs (at night) so I can decide wether the max-values are the
cause indeed, and I have to increase the kernel parameters again?
Any hints are welcome.
TIA
Alex Harkema
