[rabbitmq-discuss] File descriptors slowly reaching 1024...

Thu Aug 29 16:36:07 BST 2013

One thing to be careful of if you're going to increase your limits - RHEL
based systems (centos for example) have separate soft limits in the
following locations:
/etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf
/etc/security/limits.conf

The 90-nproc.conf file has the 1024 limit for all users on a system.
