[asterisk-users] asterisk freeze due to "too many open file" error

[Henry J. Cobb]

> If the system is "running away" then I'd suggest looking deeper into it
- is it opening a file and never closing it again, etc. Hard to track
down unless you have a good knowlege of what's running, etc.

lsof -p `ps h -C asterisk -o pid | head -1` | grep -Fc '/dev/zap/timer'

120

You have to open your own timer device over one hundred times in the same
process?
