Re: What is the best way to handle "too many open files" errors?

[Ben Welsh <ben.welsh@xxxxxxxxx>]

When I study my lsof logs on httpd instances, I'm seeing the use of a number of image libraries, or instance, that I cannot imagine any use for in my applications. then when I look at the yum log the DV provisioned by my host I see those same libraries as default installs. To me there seem to be two possible explanations -- one, there are unnecessary libraries installed on the system that are racking up my open files needlessly; two, my app is using these libraries for things I an unaware of. can you think of another explanation?

 I don't quite understand your question here.  Could you clarify?
