Our OutgoingRunner hangs upon occasion. A truss of the process shows that OutgoingRunner is hanging in recv. We feel the most likely reason for this is that the sendmail OutgoingRunner is talking to stopped responding.
While fixing our system so that sendmails never hang would be one way to solve the problem, I think there is an easier way [ :-) ], and that is to have the OutgoingRunner timeout on socket operations after so many seconds. Python 2.3 has socket methods settimeout and gettimeout. I'm thinking about using these methods to detect hangs and restart the OutgoingRunner in some fasion. Thoughts? Comments? I'll get some sample code later this afternoon.
