http://bertrand.gotpike.org//space/start/2006-02-27/1Ever wanted to figure out the system limits for your Caudium server?<p class="paragraph"/> I did, because my busy Caudium box sometimes died with the following message: "Out of sockets (1024 active)".<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.<p class="paragraph"/> That's why it's know possible to know the current limits via the Caudium Configuration Interface (CIF), under Actions -> Status -> Limits Status.<p class="paragraph"/> The code is here: <span class="nobr"><img height="9" width="8" src="/static/images/Icon-Extlink.png" alt="&#91;external]"/><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.</a></span> 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.<p class="paragraph"/> Some options should be added in the CVS soon for being able to increase the limits at startup time.Fins 0.9.7http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss
