I'm using Solaris (SunOS 5.7, according to uname).
The number of files varies, and I can control this if I know what the limits
are. Is the 256 limit per process or for the entire machine? For instance,
if I have 10 apache children going full bore, is the practical limit 25 per
child, or 256 per child?
I saw (in the code) that there's one open file per uploaded file. That
should be fine. I just need to find out if they're getting closed
correctly.
What is "lsof"?
Thanks!
