I used the cat /proc/<pid>/limits command to check the Max open file hard and soft limit, but I want to know how this value will be set and can it be increased or decreased?Is this value is set in some configuration file?I tried ulimit command, but that is not helpful to set limit of specific process.# ulimit -n 2048But still i am seeing 1024 in # cat /proc/<pid>/limits..Max open files            1024                 4096                 files..I know similar questions are asked but, i can't find any better answer.
How Max open files soft and hard limit are set for specific process?
