Here's my problem:
I have a license to run 12 bots simultaneously. But as soon as I start the fifth bot, Sinusbot application freezes and crashes after some time. Sometimes the fifth bot also starts but isn't able to connect to the TeamSpeak server (I guess the bot itself starts but the Teamspeak Client crashes]. I used the installer script to set the bot up but I also tried a clean installation using the official tutorial. Here are the logs:

I noticed that there's a task limit in the service status (165) which seems to be almost there when using 4 bots. But I honestly have no clue how to remove such a limit. I checked for limits in Linux system files but they are all set to some value like 60.000. So I highly doubt that's the reason.

Bot log doesn't show anything besides "Loading instances" so I don't believe there's a reason to share the bot log.

I also ran the diagSinusbot Script, here's the output:

Wonderful support request, I really appreciate the effort, it sadly doesn't happen a lot these days!

From what I can see, the bot is out of resources.
Error spawning instancefork/exec /opt/sinusbot/teamspeak3-client/ts3client_linux_amd64: resource temporarily unavailable
That message (resource temporarily unavailable) comes directly from the OS - so the OS doesn't let the bot start a new client.
You're probably hitting some limits on your machine - that might either be RAM (if on a shared host and it's overbooked) or settings like maximum open files (this affects actual files as well as network connections, as those are also basically files on Linux) or maximum running processes. You can check those by using ulimit -a using the account your bot is running with. You might need to tweak those (if your host allows it) and edit those tweaks into the start script you're using.

Hey there,

thanks for the kind words! it felt like a necessity for me to provide as much information as possible if I ask for support!
As suggested by you I used ulimit -a on both the root and sinusbot user. As I used the installer script the bot runs as a service launched by root account but the bot itself is run by sinusbot user. Stopping every other server (Minecraft Modded f.Ex.). Still I am not able to start more than 4 bots. So I don't believe it's about RAM usage, as the Minecraft Server is able to use 8 to 12 GB without any problems at all.

The number of user processes is set to 62987. Still I don't know what "Tasks: 154 (limit: 165)" from my service status output means.

When talking about start script, do you mean the start script used to start up sinusbot or the server itself? How am I able to change the limits that are visible by ulimit -a. I saw some thread talking about changing parameters in "/etc/security/limits.conf " but I am a bit unsure about it! Is there any way to see how many files Sinusbot uses and whether the limit is reached at any time?

ulimit -a as root outputs:
Code:
core file size          (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority             (-e) 0

ulimit -a as sinusbot user outputs:

Code:
core file size          (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority             (-e) 0

Thank you for the fast answer!
