File Descriptors + cron

Hi All,

This thread is going to be a discussion basically bringing out more information from the experts on cron jobs and the associated file handles.

So, here is the question.

There is definitely a constant ' n ' as the maximum number of file handles alloted to a process ' p '.

Will there be any difference, if the process ' p ' is running as a foreground process or as a process spawned by cron daemon; in the maximum number of file handles that is be alloted to the process ?

If so why is the difference, or basically what are the constraints placed over the process spawned by the cron daemon to that of a process running as a foreground process kicked of from the terminal ?

Thanks!
