Hello folks,
I am running a rather heavy Java Server program on OS 10.2 client machine. Sometimes, we hit the file descriptor limit and get the "too many open files" Java error. As an immediate workaround, I wondered whether we could raise the max file limits, which is set a default of 256, to a higher value.
I wanted to know what would be the effect on the system (if any) if I do raise the limit value to say 512 or 1024. Would I run a greater risk of the machine bucking down ? Do help.
Thanks.
