Error: EMFILE, too many open files #25

Open bnolan opened 9 years ago

bnolan commented 9 years ago

Serving some scene-server scripts, and restarted the server a half dozen times then got this error:

fs.js:427
  return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);
                 ^
Error: EMFILE, too many open files 'scenes/pinterest-ristari-recycle-upcycle-etc.xml'

From reading this, we're probably not closing the fs.watch statements, and it's them that's causing the out of file limit (only 256 concurrent handles on os x).

Not such a big problem on windows / linux, but bad practise.
