rundeck-launcher-1.3.0.jar -- too many open files

[redhot]

Hi,

I am trying the rundeck-launcher from 1.3.0-beta-0.9 and running into a startup issue. Anyone seen this?

Hi redhot,

Seeing the "Too many open files" error message makes me wonder if this
is a system limits issue. What OS are you trying this on? Take a look
at this IRC thread: http://irclog.rundeck.org/rundeck/2011-03-29#i_2376463
It mentions checking and increasing the ulimit setting.

Thanks !

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the pointer. I am using Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS/Server and indeed it was a ulimit issue. I had to add these two to get it to work. Just adding a soft limit does not help. Having a slightly higher hard limit is needed.
