#
# Fault : "Too many open files" (EMFILE)
# Fix   : Raise the limit for the service properly
# Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/lnx-too-many-open-files
#
# Run as     : Shell as root
# Expect     : 20 minutes
# Risk       : low
# Reversible : yes
#
# WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX
#   The count sits at a limit. Note that /etc/security/limits.conf does
#   NOT apply to systemd services -- that is why so many attempts at this
#   appear to do nothing.
#
# HOW TO UNDO IT
#   sudo systemctl revert nginx.service
#
# Walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each. Steps with no
# command are yours to do -- it prints those and waits. DRYRUN=1 prints
# without executing; UNATTENDED=1 does not ask.
