In the past, I've had to do this for turnkey servers that would occasionally,
but undesirably run out of file handles during their busiest time. Since
modifying /proc/... doesn't physically change anything on the filesystem (like
the kernel image), the change disappears on the next boot. Putting

You can also use the sysctl(8) command:
sysctl -w fs.file-max=131072

For the whole system, its very easy:
echo 4096 >/proc/sys/fs/file-max
Note that you'll have to do that at boot-time to (probably in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local).
However, if you want to increase the per-process limit, its more
complex - you have to rebuild glibc after changing the appropriate

If you
You need to set it using PAM. The change will go into
/etc/security/limits.conf
Have fun.

Dear Gurus,
I am using RH 6.2 & 6.2: I would like to know how to
increase the 'open files limit' fo the whole system, not per user bases, sorry
very newbie question. The ulimit -a tell me 1024 open files.
Thanks for your time.
Diego Mezzera.
