similar to: Dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files

Hi! Question from the novice. I have to permanently increase number of opened files ( ulimit -n 16384 and ulimit -Hn 16384) for some application. I did custom kernel based on https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-custom-kernel-modularized.html and application documentation ( written for RH 9), no error during all makes but I have panic during the

In the past few months we've been having increasing problems with dovecot timing out pop3 logins. As best I can tell it gets to the point where it won't accept any new pop3 logins. The error in the mail log is: dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files I've researched this problem a number of times, usually I see suggestions to increase ulimit. I've done this a number of

Why can't non-uid 0 users have more than 1024 file descriptors when logging in via ssh? I'm trying to allow a user to have a hard limit of 8192 file descriptors(system defaults to 1024) via the following setting in /etc/security/limits.conf: jdoe hard nofile 8192 But when jdoe logs in via ssh and does 'ulimit -Hn' he gets '1024' as a response. If he tries to

Running across some curious stuff with ulimit on CentOS 5.10. We have a non CentOS packaged version of Asterisk (using their packages) that we start at boot time with a typical RC script. Recently it started whining that it couldn't open enough file handles. As we dug further into this, it appears that at boot time, it inherits ulimit from init, which is pretty low: 1024. We've set

I'm encountering lots of Oct 31 11:14:25 postamt dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files errors around midday ever since the latest upgrade to 1.0.7.

Hi All, I was able to track down what I believe is a bug when using AGI services. This bug may crash your system if your extensions.conf script is intensive in using AGI services. Depending on your system's ulimit, * keeps opening files until it reaches the system limit and then stops responding. Function app_agi/launch_script seems to leave an open and unused file. Can someone confirm this?

Hi I keep on getting errors and can't connect/login to Dovecot. I did my research but unfortunately without success. It is for sure not ulimit because ulimit is set to unlimited per default already. Still , it complains about "Too many open files" but this is a test system and the service dovecot and postfix have just been started. No one except me is testing on this system.

Hi all, We updated to 1.1.7 a week or two back from 1.1.6 (both standard atrpms builds). Since doing so, twice now I've seen the imap services accept connections but they hang before the banner is printed (pop seems to be unaffected). I see this in the logs: Dec 23 14:02:15 mail9 dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files Dec 23 14:02:15 mail9 dovecot: Temporary failure in creating login

Can you get a core dump from this? You will need to set up the ulimit etc as outlined in the previous email: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-October/msg00102.html

Please connect gdb to the hung process and get a stack trace to find out where it's hanging. 'strace -p ...' output might also be enlightening, if it is not hung but doing

Sorry , I forget it for another monitoring tool monit that we have used in our production systems to restart asterisk in case of asterisk crash or halt. I have attached a monit configuration for your reference. it will work almost in all cases This configuration will check Asterisk for following 1. will check for Asterisk process. 2. will check Asterisk via AMI 3. will check
