 |
|
Hi,
I'm starting a transparent proxy via the /etc/inittab like this
myproxy:23:respawn:/usr/local/bin/simpleproxy -L SOURCE -R DESTINATION
and run into the file lilmit of 1024 simultaneous network connections.
To increase the limit, I ran ulimit, but that did not help. I guess
because it's scope is limited to the current shell.
Then I increased the file limits by editing /etc/security/limits.conf
to like this
root soft nofile 2024
root hard nofile 2024
However, I still run into the same problem. Now I was wondering,
whether or not the limits defined in /etc/security/limits.conf also
apply to processes started via the inittab?

....
Did you run into the limit at start up, without usage, or when you
started getting connections or you had otherwise initiated connections?
I'm not familiar with the proxy you're running, but it doesn't seem
like a very good design to either be suggested to be put in inittab or
especially if it doesn't properly multiplex/thread where you are maxing
out that many connections. I suppose it depends on the design of it,
but I'm curious when you hit the limit?

I got the error not at startup but after a long time running. The
reason is that the proxy is connecting to some old webserver, which
does not close the connections fast enough. So after a certain time
there are 1024 open and when the proxy tries to get number 1025 I run
into this exception.
However, my original question is: Do limits which I define for root in
limits.conf also count for "non logins" like processes started via
inittab?

The limits.conf settnig is bounded by the settings in the kernel -
what does
cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
say?
(AIR this is writable to change)
Also, check the number of file handles:
cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
(first number is the handles open and in use, last number is max)
