Hi,
I've been trying to increase the number of open file descriptors
per process and failing miserably. The call setrlimit() suppose
to set the soft and hard limit. The default is 64 for the soft
and 256 for the hard (I'm running SunOS 4.1.3). I could increase
the soft limit but I could not increase the hard limit beyond
256 (even when I'm the superuser). I tried looking under the
kernel and could only find the resource for the soft limit:
RLIMIT_NOFILE = 6. Can any of you wizards out there please
help me ? Sorry for any inconvenience. Thanks.
Please respond to
