Ulimit controls the maximum number of open files per process while
sysctl controls the maximum number of open files system-wide. I would
look at sysctl. However, if the number of system open files is low, I
would think you would see problems in more places. Is it possible your
command-line is trying to open an infinite number of files? Can you
send us your command line?
