Hi,

I'd like to know how many total system files Postgresql has open at any
one time.

Is this the easiest way ??

a) Find out how many Postgres process's - `ps aux | grep postgres`
b) For each Postgres process find out which files it has open - `ls
/proc/*postgres_process_id*/fd | wc -l`
c) Add up each Postgres process file open total to work out grand total
of open files for user Postgres.

I know I can get the total for the whole machine using
/proc/user_beancounters but I'd like to know
just for Postgres.

Many thanks
Best regards
Rudi.
