Message: [QUOTE="ara.t.howard, post: 4618749"] you can list them all with something like limit = 8192 files = Array.new(limit){|i| IO.for_fd(i) rescue nil}.compact.map{| io| io.fileno} p files this probably opens a file or pipe this too possibly you are using the gem properly. you should attempt to track down the open files with something like this in the forkoff block ios = Array.new(8192){|i| IO.for_fd(i) rescue nil}.compact filenos = ios.map{|io| io.fileno} paths = ios.map{|io| io.path rescue nil} STDERR.puts "child : #{ Process.pid }" STDERR.puts "filenos : #{ filenos.inspect }" STDERR.puts "paths : #{ paths.inspect }" STDIN.gets i just releases version 0.0.4 of forkoff. should not affect your issue, but might want to install anyhow (just pushed to rubyforge - might have to wait for it propagate or grab the gem from there manually) cheers. a @ [URL]http://codeforpeople.com/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
