Hi Steve, Thanks for the suggestions.

This sounds like an approach we can use because we can't modify the apps themselves. The problem is that the app's daemons on startup call sysconf(3C) to get the max number of descriptors (fd_max) and close all descriptors from 0 to fd_max. This can take a very long time when, for example, fd_max is 2.15G! > > I'm guessing that the rctl tuning is only desired for the legacy apps, > and not for all processes started by init. > This is correct.
