When using the ecartis 1.0.0 (ex-Listar) web interface on 4.2-release, and
trying to log in without a password, login fails and mails this report:
Error report:
List:
User:
Action:
File: /home/ecartis/lists/SITEDATA/cookies
Error: Bad file descriptor
-- queuefile in error --
<< NO QUEUEFILE! >>
The comment by Rachel Blackman, the ecartis developer, is:
"After a bit of abuse, I was able to produce this error when my own
FreeBSD-4.2 box ran out of file descriptors due to a rogue process (in this
case, a faulty PHP/FI engine compile that was not always freeing file
handles for some reason). Perhaps something similar is affecting your box?"
The box is a dedicated list server, nothing else running.

What kind of tool is there to watch file openings and catch errors?
