Hi.

We are running a RedHat AS 2.1 system as a server for a Progress-based
application. About 15 different databases are running on the system and
about 150 users are logging on to use the application. The "file-max"
parameter is currently set to 65536, but at a couple of occations we
have har a "Too many open files in system" message - causing a DB
shutdown. The /proc/sys/fs/file-nr shows "65536   42002   65536" which
indicates that maximum file handles has been reached. Has anybody tried
to set the /proc/sys/fs/file-max beyond 65536?

Regards Ole
