Hi All, Today, I'm playing with the "ulimit " command. My login has a ulimit of 1024 for open file descriptor:
$ ulimit -n 1204 But when using lsof to list down all files (files, socket, etc) opened by my login, I got: $ lsof -u user | wc -l 3977 Can someone tell me why can my login open more files than granted by ulimit? I'm running: Debian stable (lenny) Gnome desktop environment + compiz Thanks. -- wenlong (boon leong) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
