12 Important Customer Service Skills in 2024
Excellent customer service has always been, and always will be, essential for any company's success. Here are the 12 most important customer service skills.
Read nowMigrating one of my customers the other day, bought up an ugly error when I had to create 2000 directories on one go. The error was:
[code]Cannot run program "chmod": java.io.IOException: error=24, Too many open files[/code]
While, “too many open files” usually means one can raise the limit of open files under Linux (check out ulimit -a) it unfortunately did not help in this situation. I even rebooted the whole server and made sure that no other service was running, except Java that is. Still no success.
I then looked at my code in the CFML (Coldfusion) template. In order to create the directories I used a simply:
[coldfusion]<cfinclude action="create" directory="…" mode="775">[/coldfusion]
Normal code, right? Well, as it turns out, I simply had to remove the “mode” part in order to overcome this error. Not sure, why this caused a “too many open files” error, but it worked in my situation. I can only imagine that the server tried to put all 2000 directories into memory and then write them in one go (I have a high value for the open files limit set and 12GB RAM).
In any case, hope this helps someone out here.
