Earl et all,
I have been getting getting problems every few days or less on two of
the 125 lists I have identically configured with MHonArc. These two
lists are high traffic lists (other high traffic lists are doing ok,
so far). From today's logs of stderr and stdout, we have about
twenty successful runs, followed by a failure, which leaves a
.mhonarc.lck lying around.
Shown are portions of the last successful run, and the first
failure. Subsequent failures are due to the .mhonarc.lck file lying
around and have an exit code of 255. The comments about return values
are from my wrapper script.
I have placed a copy of the DB at ftp://jab.org/pub/.mhonarc.db
I have placed a copy of the rcfile at ftp://jab.org/pub/rcfile
I have placed the affected mail at ftp://jab.org/pub/catastrophe/
noting that some of the error code 255 mail also get diverted
to this directory.
The call to MhonArc is a shell script, the relevant lines are
attached. You may assume all the shell variables are assigned to
reasonable values.
MHONARC=/usr/bin/mhonarc
FLAGS="-reverse -treverse -tidxfname index.html"
FLAGS="$FLAGS -rcfile $HOME/rcfile -savemem -tlevels 1"
FLAGS="$FLAGS -ttitle $ESCAPED_NAME -title $NICKNAME"
FLAGS="$FLAGS -idxsize 300 -multipg -add -nomailto"
$MHONARC $FLAGS $HOME/Mail/$FILTER
At no point are two MHonArc processes called at the same time.
Suggestions? Comments on this particular return code?
Jeff
