need help on puzzled
 

Hi,

Please read the below scenario.....

I have a linux server in which many applications resides. I am running one application among them. The application creates 4 instance and each instance in turn creates file descriptor according to the request (instance actually called a library...which created the file descriptor).

The problem is ... it created the FD but doesn't close it. after a certain time each of the instance (4) reaches the max and system crashed/bogged down and doesn't respond to any of the query.

As a user certainly I don't know that this is the application which is culprit.

Could any one of you please let me know how to find out the culprit process
in above scenario.

PS: result of top command show CPU% MEM% as 0/1 for the particular application.

Thanks,
sir_com

Please
1. add your distro & version to your profile
2. tell us what the app is called (& ver) if not written in-house. If written in-house, describe app
3. show 'top' output when app is running
