[Orca-users] problem: Too many open files

[chaya at gstworld.net]

From: chaya at gstworld.net

I've been running orca v0.23 for over a month now on five servers. It looked
like the orca process was getting too large (memory leak?) and the orca process
was taking too long to graph. 

I started and stopped the orca process and now only get graphs for three of the
five reporting servers.  

The log output is as follows:

blackwidow% ./bin/orca -v lib/orcallator.cfg
Orca version 0.23 using RRDs version 1.000031.

etc...

Is this an os level issue, ie. "Too many open files", or something else?

thanks for any information.
