OK, I just found this
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=13144
Which says that you cannot use "unlimited" for nofile
It says to do this
* soft nofile 63536
* hard nofile 63536
or "more realistically" to do this :
* soft nofile 8192
* hard nofile 63536
But I still cannot find what is the difference between the hard and soft limit
Also, once this file has been changed, does the system need to be
rebooted for it to take affect?
Or does it automatically take affect for any new processes? So just
restart any service I want to take advantage of it?
thanks,
-Alan
