I'm having trouble with increasing the open-files ulimit (ulimit -n) for a particular process on a Debian 6 server.AFAIK I've done everything to change the servers hard and soft limits in this case, (ulimit -n shows 200000), but when I check the /proc/<process_id>/limits file it's still showing the old limits:Limit                     Soft Limit           Hard Limit           UnitsMax open files            1024                 4096                 filesThe steps that I have already taken to permanently increase the ulimits are:Added to /etc/profile:# set ulimit n permanetlyulimit -n 200000Added to /etc/security/limits.conf:*       soft    nofile  200000*       hard    nofile  200000Uncommented this lime in /etc/pam.d/susession    required   pam_limits.soWhat am I missing? Thank you!Other (relevant?) info:The process is started in a init.d script with start-stop-daemonThe /etc/security/limits.d/ directory is empty
Process specific ulimit still low after changes to soft and hard ulimits
