Hi

Please help me understand about the below issue ?

[root@asterisk1 ~]# /etc/init.d/asterisk restart Stopping safe_asterisk: [ OK ] Shutting down asterisk: [ OK ] Starting asterisk: /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk: line 86: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted

the message is pretty clear... man ulimit looks like that script is non-root when it tries to change the open files ulimit, and tries to change it beyond the hard limit. So, fails. Or if it's not non-root it could be selinux interfering (?).
