  <atom:subtitle type="xhtml"><html:div xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><html:p>Ever wanted to figure out the system limits for your Caudium server?</html:p><html:p class="paragraph"/>
I did, because my busy Caudium box sometimes died with the following message: "Out of sockets (1024 active)".<html:p class="paragraph"/>
I tried to increase the system limits before trying to reduce the number of used sockets in my own Caudium modules, but the operating system doc wasn't really clear. As a consequence, i wasn't sure i increased them well.<html:p class="paragraph"/>
That's why it's know possible to know the current limits via the Caudium Configuration Interface (CIF), under Actions -&gt; Status -&gt; Limits Status.<html:p class="paragraph"/>
The code is here: <html:span class="nobr"><html:img height="9" width="8" src="/static/images/Icon-Extlink.png" alt="[external]"/><html:a href="http://cvsweb.caudiumforge.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/caudium/server/config_actions/limitsstatus.pike?cvsroot=caudium.">http://cvsweb.caudiumforge.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/caudium/server/config_actions/limitsstatus.pike?cvsroot=caudium.</html:a></html:span>&#xD;
It's totally backward-compatible with Caudium 1.4. My production servers are started with a custom start-caudium script which increases the limits at startup time and sports this CIF code.<html:p class="paragraph"/>
Some options should be added in the CVS soon for being able to increase the limits at startup time.</html:div></atom:subtitle>
