Last time I played with this (about kernel 2.4.16 I think) I found that I could have a single process with about 89500 file handles open at once, I never tested the limit for the number of file handles for the entire system, but I suspect it was not much more than that. > I need the increase the value because I have virtualhosts on my webserver > and the log to diff files. > > beside: OK :) Another possiblity would be to log to one file and split that > file every 24 h but right now I have seperate logfiles for each vhost. My logtools package has everything you need for that. -- I do not get viruses because I do not use MS software. If you use Outlook then please do not put my email address in your address-book so that WHEN you get a virus it won't use my address in the >From field.
