The settings should persist, but there's a chance that a startup script sets it after every reboot (e.g. Fedora has (or at least had) a line to disable core file generation in /etc/profile, I think). Easy enough to test, assuming you can reboot the box. Besides lsof, a quick and dirty way to count the number of open files for a process (in this case "firefox", use Tomcat's pid in place of $(pgrep firefox) in your case): example-prompt$ ls /proc/$(pgrep firefox)/fd | wc -l 75 You didn't supply much detail about Tomcat's usage, but if the open file limit is indeed 1024 (and you don't have a heavily-used server) you might be leaking file handles somewhere in your JSP pages. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
