The lsof command might help you with figuring out how many files are open.

Subject: Too Many Open Files


We are running Linux under VM on a mainframe. We keep running into this
"Too many open files" problem with one of our WebLogic Servers:
Sep 8, 2003 5:58:25 AM CDT> <Notice> <WebLogicServer> <000203>
<Reopening listen socket on port 7201>
<Sep 8, 2003 5:59:30 AM CDT> <Critical> <WebLogicServer> <000204>
<Failed to listen on port 7201, failure count: 79, failing for
1,063,013,260 seconds, java.net.SocketException: Too many open files>
<Sep 8, 2003 5:59:30 AM CDT> <Critical> <WebLogicServer> <000206>
<Attempting to close and reopen the server socket on port 7201>

We end up having to bounce the server (or Linux image) when we get this
condition. Has anyone experienced this? Also is there a good way to
display the number of open files?
