The command from inside the pltcl function? It is wrapped in a loop that should run about 200 times and is
exec echo $msg | mail -s "New Timecard System" -c "[email protected]" $U(username)@tpchd.org
where msg is a little message.
I start postgresql with default values.

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?
