[Ganglia-developers] file descriptor madness revisited

[Matt M. <ma...@cs...>]

i was just reading through the patches on sourceforge and saw a message 
about AIX problems caused by gmond forking after metric_init() and 
closing all file descriptors.  looks like it uses a file descriptor to 
export kernel data as well.  the person run gmond in debug mode and 
piped output to /dev/null to work around the problem.  ugly.
