The various Unix platforms all have limits on the number of files that can be open in a single process at one time. For busy sites, increase that number to 1024. modify on Solaris: in /etc/system, set rlim_fd_max, and reboot. for more details: http://docs.sun.com/source/816-5679-10/estune.htm#1019260 Regards Def - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
