On a mac high sierra 10.13.3 I have 256 open files.
I want to raise it and I open a terminal and enter
sudo launchctl limit maxfiles 1000000 1000000
This doesnt change anything when I enter
ulimit -a
I still get 256
But it does change something, because when I enter
sudo launchctl limit maxfiles 1000 1000
the system just stops working until a restart.
What is the right way to Increase number of open files in mac high sierra
btw:
Following command changes the open files just for the specific terminal session
ulimit -n 4096
