Thnx. That did it. I also reduce the stock size to 512K instead of 8M. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alex Balashov Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2007 4:22 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Linux limits You have to increase the amount of available file descriptors per process: http://hausheer.osola.com/docs/11%C2%A0%C2%A0 On Tue, 18 Sep 2007, Wai Wu wrote: Hi all, Any one know how to increase the Linux limit?

Re: [asterisk-users] Linux limits
safe_asetrisk bundled with the package, does increase the file limits in quite a neat way, with some other good setups. Edit MAXFILES or SYSMAXFILES as required. Also, I've read posts online, advising not to use safe_asterisk. Any experiences on this one, anyone? cheers - Ben. Jay R.
