My /etc/security/limits.conf file looks like this



* soft nofile 1024
* hard nofile 2048
couchdb soft nofile 35000
couchdb hard nofile 35000
root soft nofile 65535
root hard nofile 65535


I want to have a specific limit for my couchdb process, for root and for the rest.
The above does not work.



How is one supposed ot setup limits for a process (which starts automatically on startup) as opposed to a user ?
