Recently, it was suggested to look for runaway processes. First, I found that sometimes Navigator 4 had gone ballistic occupying 90% of the CPU while "doing nothing". So beware. But netscape is not always running when this problem arises. Nor do I think that the system limits in my kernel are too low. I checked out sys/conf/param.c and deduced that a MAXUSER setting of 10 allows 6400 open file descriptors. That sounds like plenty to me. So, I'm still wondering whether there's some way of determing how many open descriptors each process has. Surely this info is in a data structure somewhere, no? Is there an app or functions to access this? thanks, David Kulp dkulp@neomorphic.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
