Can someone help me figure out what's limiting processes started from gexec to use the default 1024 open files limit 'ulimit -n'? In my .bash_profile/.bashrc I have ulimit -Sn 6 Running my application manually w/o being called from gexec works fine, however if I call gexec my app is

Hello Rodrick, Regular users are only able to ­lower­ their ulimits, never increase them. You need to either be the superuser, or to set higher resource limits by default. This has nothing to do with Ganglia, and it¹s not something they¹d be able to fix for you. cheers, Klaus On 8/25/08 11:33

Rodrick, I have no idea. You¹ve shared no information on how your cluster is configured or anything else, so you¹re asking us to speculate on the inner workings of a black box. Again, my advice to you is to run gexec through strace ‹ regardless of how it¹s been implemented (C, C++, Java,

Thanks all the problem was with running gexec through xinetd. Xinetd calls setrlimit with a FD_SIZE of 1024. Running gexecd outside of xinetd has fixed this problem it now inherits root's ulimits settings. Thank for pointing me in the right direction. -Original Message- From: Carlo
