Hi there

I am keep getting this error on the screen. I have tried to solve this
problem by myself but still no luck. Could anyone guide what to do to
increase the limit and avoid this error?

When this happens, I am unable to login on the server by consol or ssh. what
to do? And I have to restart the server manually.... by on/off switch...
