Hi Jose,

As mentioned in previous email it doesn't work on ubuntu 14.04 machine.

stack at devstackvm:~$ cat /proc/3070/limits  | grep "Max open files"
Max open files            1024                 4096
files
stack at devstackvm:~$
stack at devstackvm:~$ echo -n "Max open files=8192:unlimited"  >
/proc/3070/limits
-bash: /proc/3070/limits: Permission denied
stack at devstackvm:~$ sudo echo -n "Max open files=8192:unlimited"  >
/proc/3070/limits
-bash: /proc/3070/limits: Permission denied
stack at devstackvm:~$

root at devstackvm:/home/stack# echo -n "Max open files=8192:unlimited" >
/proc/3070/limits
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
root at devstackvm:/home/stack#

Thanks,
Prashant
