Greetings,

on a RHEL system, I am launching STAF using the following entry in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local

cd /usr/local/staf
. ./STAFEnv.sh STAF
cd bin
nohup ./STAFProc &

in /etc/sysctl.conf I added the line

fs.file-max=2048

and in /etc/security/limits.conf, I added the lines

*       soft    nofile  4096
*       hard    nofile  65535

Through STAF, I am launching an installation process that opens a large # of
files, which requires the max # of open files to be 4096 (ulimit -n 4096).
If I run the installation interactively in a console after a reboot, the
installation succeeds, suggesting the the above changes to sysctl.conf and
limits.conf are being recognized.  If I launch the installation process
after a a reboot from STAF, the installation fails, exhibiting the symptoms
caused by limit of max open files set too low.

I realize this is not a STAF-specific issue, however I am at the end of my
rope.  Does anybody know how - on a Unix/RHEL system - increase the max # of
open files setting such that it is recognized by a (STAF) process launched
as detailed above?

Thanks much,

- Stephan
