Hi Mark & Bernard, I had a similar issue when I upgraded to 2.2.7 however in my case this was due to: (a) The RPM packager definitions leaked file descriptors: Initially (leaks descriptors for some reason): RPMInstallCommand = ( "/usr/bin/yum -y install %s" ) RPMRemoveCommand = ( "/usr/bin/yum -t -y remove %s" )
Final (doesn't leak): RPMInstallCommand = ( "/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install %s 2<&-" ) RPMRemoveCommand = ( "/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y remove %s 2<&-" ) (b) Shellcommands and process restarts: I followed the advice of http://www.cfwiki.org/cfwiki/index.php/Hung_Shell_Command and this resolved my issues. In my case, all of my file descriptors were due to the Yum command. I'm using RHEL 5.2 on AMD64 Thanks, Best regards, Brett -----Original Message----- From: Bernard Chan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 16, 2008 3:21 AM To: Mark Burgess Cc: help-cfengine; bug-cfengine Subject: Re: Version 2.2.7 of cfengine released Dear Mark and everybody on the list, I have upgraded our v2.2.6 systems to v2.2.7 but still got the MAXFD errors.
