on RHEL LimitNOFILE is definitely a good idea. I do not have a user in the systemd service, so it runs under system defaults, maybe that helps me out.

You must at least re-login or reboot to make this active. Did you verify with ulimit -n ? What did you get? btw. After=network.target is sub-optimal. After=network-online.target is better.

My /etc/security/limits.conf files contains: ----- . . . # End of file * soft nofile 81920 * hard nofile 81920 ----- Originally it was set to 8192 and I was able to start the service from the command line: /opt/artemis/bin/artemis-service start When I did so and ran: lsof -p <artemis pid> | wc -l it reported some 5K files open by the process, hence the reason it wouldn't run with the default limit of 1024. I then tried to start the SystemD service: sudo systemctl start artemis using this in /etc/systemd/system/artemis.service: ----- [Unit] Description=ActiveMQ Artemis Service After=network.target [Service] ExecStart=/opt/artemis/bin/artemis-service start ExecStop=/opt/artemis/bin/artemis-service stop Type=forking User=<my id> Group=<my group> [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ----- and it failed with the Too Many Open Files error. So I increased it to the 81920 shown above, rebooted, and I STILL get the Too Many Open Files error. Is there something special about the way services are started such that it doesn't use /etc/security/limits.conf to determine the number of open files allowed for a process?
