hi after reloading awesome's config several times (via Mod4+Ctrl+R), it won't reload anymore with the error message "cannot open $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/rc.lua: Too many open files". I start awesome manually via startx and $HOME/.xinit, so I guessed this might be the shell limiting the number of open files. On the other hand 'ulimit -a' shows that 1024 open file descriptors are allowed, which seems to me to be quite a lot.
Why are there so many files open? I do query 'amixer' every second but that's all, no other external files/processes. Is it because I have three hooks that fire every second, do I need to combine them into one or vary the update time, something like that? Any hints are appreciated kba -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
