Raise Open File Limits in OS X

in OS X 10.4 to macOS sierra 10.12 and maybe higher!

Create Launcher Script:

/Library/LaunchDaemons/limit.maxfiles.plist

Copy this entire code block and paste it into your terminal and push Return to create this file for you with correct permissions. It will (probably) ask for your password:

// This will open up a prompt for text to send to a console session on digital ocean
// Useful for long passwords
(function () {
var t = prompt("Enter text to be sent to console, (This wont send the enter keystroke)").split("");
function f() {
var character = t.shift();
var i=[];
var code = character.charCodeAt();
var needs_shift = "!@#$%^&*()_+{}:\"<>?~|".indexOf(character) !== -1
