Thanks for the reply. I already compared the output of lsof before and after HUP but I have not found any changes. It almost same.
As per the various mailing list the virtual host increase the file descriptors. But I have only one entry of virtual host. Which file are remain open after HUP. That is not clear. In our scenario we hupped the apache every night . So after certain period of time it start giving error 'Too many file open' .Then we stop/start the apache. I am running the following mmodules libexec/mod_env.so libexec/mod_mime_magic.so libexec/mod_negotiation.so libexec/mod_status.so libexec/mod_info.so libexec/mod_cgi.so libexec/mod_asis.so libexec/mod_imap.so libexec/mod_actions.so libexec/mod_alias.so libexec/mod_access.so libexec/mod_auth.so libexec/mod_cern_meta.so libexec/mod_expires.so libexec/mod_headers.so libexec/mod_setenvif.so libcurls.xx.so regards Sonam Singh -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Trawick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 3:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: HELP : File Descriptor -- URGENT [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > This is my first message to the mailling list.

Comparison of lsof before HUP with lsof after HUP should show which files/sockets/whatever are "extra".
