One of processes execution dependent on ulimit settings.
i.e if i set the command "ulimit -n 1024" on the console and restart
the application then it works.but over the time the problem reappears
again.

At the kernel level the ulimit setting is 4096.But still i have to set
the ulimit to 1024 while restarting the application?..why?

The process is not taking the ulimit parameter from kernel setting?

Is the ulimit setting different for different user?
How do I make it same to all users?
