Error: too many open files

I guess one option might be to replace the open and close-commands with a proc featuring some debugging code; ie, rename open to _open, create a proc named open that calls _open, and tries to figure out number of opened files, where it was called from, and such.

Also, remember that sockets also make use of file descriptors, including the http-package..
Not sure this part might be to blame, but might be worth investigating:

Code:

variable newquest ""package require httpsetudef flag weatherset agent "Mozilla/4.75 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17; i586; Nav)"bind pub - !qread pub_wbind pub - !qinsert pub_ibind pub - !qcorrect pub_cproc pub_w {nick uhand handle chan input} {    global botnick agent datadir newquest if {![isop $nick $chan]} {mxirc_notc $nick "Du musst Op sein, um diese Funktion auszuführen"return}mxirc_quick_notc $nick "Neue Fragen werden eingelesen. Sollte der Befehl nicht funktionieren, probier zunächst !rehash."    set query "http://moxquiz.mo.funpic.de/fragen/neue_fragen.txt"    set http [::http::config -useragent $agent]    set http [::http::geturl $query]    set html [::http::data $http] set questtime "[unixtime].txt" set fname "$datadir/backup/$questtime" set newquest $fname set fp [open $fname "a"]foreach line [split $html "\n"] {puts $fp $line}close $fp

Thanks!

I consulted the bot-hoster, who told me the problem lies within the script. Is there a way to convince him of the opposite?

Unload all scripts; test one by one to see for certain which is the offender.

I had a quick look at the script, it seems to properly close every file it opens. I guess the problem is from the machine hosting your Eggdrop.

Hi,

too many open files
The error occurs on random locations in the script. Unfortunately I can't find a file in the script that isn't closed after use. Reducing the files being opened doesn't seem to help. Is there a way to avoid the bot freezing due to this error other than restarting it all the time?

moxquiz.mo.funpic.de: unknown host.
this one is probably easier: how can I avoid to send a file to my webspace (per ftp) which ist temporarily down?

I hope my questions aren't too unspecific. If needed, here's the script: http://moxquiz.mo.funpic.de/test/moxquizz.txt

Thanks for your help!
