In Response To: Error 104 - File descriptor... (Cesar Inacio Martins)

Complementing...

The way I will use to monitor the amount of this FDs , without sure if
is correct or not....

# of open Files Descriptors.
$ onstat -g opn | awk '{print $3}' | sort | uniq -c | wc -l

721

Check what FDs is + shared.....
$ onstat -g opn | awk '{print $3}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nk2
...
