But that's not how neo4j gets started, in all likelihood. The fact that you're getting different results points to the same conclusion.

Most likely, it gets started as root (that part is certain), then it reads its config, and changes use id of the running process to neo4j.

This is not an Ubuntu thing - or even a Linux thing -- it's a UNIX thing.

If I am root and do "su neo4j" and then check the limig "ulimit -n" it's correct.

    From what I know, those things are affected by the userid *you

    Changing userid (except if you do an su - neo4j "startup script")
    does not change your inherited limits (or at least that's what I
    recall).

    So, I suspect if you use a userid there, it has to be root - not
    neo4j.  That's what I recall that I did that worked. [Then I did a
    complete reinstall, and haven't looked at it since then].

            Regarding the first warning: on Ubuntu you need to set
            the limits in a
            seperate file within `/etc/security/limits.d` directory.
            E.g. I'm
            using `/etc/security/limits.d/neo4j.conf` with these
            contents:
            *   soft    nofile  40000
            *   hard    nofile  40000
