[ILUG] Opened Files in Linux

[Thomas B. Quillinan]

Hi,

Im having a small problem with a java program in Linux - It seems to open 
every available file handle and keep them open until it exits. Initially I 
couldn't even get this to run until I run 'ulimit -n 50000' and then run the 
program. This works - however the program is a server which relys on 
connections from java applets run from the apache server - which once the 
program has started can't accept any more connections.

Now the truely wierd part of this is the program works perfectly on another 
popular O$ which will remain nameless (well ok - windows) and uses the apache 
server also.

Any ideas. And I tried both Sun's jdk1.1.8 -> 1.3 and IBM's 1.1.8 & 1.3 - 
IBM1.3 is the only one the program works at all with!

Can anyone help???
If not I may have to convert the server to WINNT - fate worse than death 
etc...
:-)

tom.
