lsof | awk '{ print $2; }' | uniq -c | sort -rn | head
- Show no of open files sorted by PID
cat /proc/<PID>/limits
- Check individual file limits of a process
ls /proc/<PID>/fd | wc -l
- to obtain a precise count of the open files at given instant of time
lsof -p <PID>
- This will list all open files with given process
In some cases you might have to look at the open file limit of the process which started your process.
Make sure you add "ulimit -n XXX" values inside your startup script, if you have configured it to start the process on machine startup or restart. Especially on Debian Linux flavour refer (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/938669)
