I'm running Mailman 2.1.2.
After I sent the message I realized that indeed I might
have a stale lock problem. So I looked in
/var/lock/mailman and there was about 1000 stale lock files.
Until I can find a better solution, I wrote this small
bash script to manually remove stale lock files, and I
plan to run it from cron every minute.
So far it seems to be helping the problem. Maybe it will
help others out there...
----- checklocks script ----
#!/bin/sh
HOST=`hostname`
cd /var/lock/mailman
for x in `ls *.lock.$HOST.*`; do
PROCID=`echo $x | awk -F "." '{print $6}'`
if [ ! -d /proc/$PROCID ]; then
echo "deleting $x for $PROCID"
rm -fv $x
else
echo "$x is a good lock for $PROCID"
fi
done
for x in `ls *.lock`; do
if [ ! -f `cat $x` ]; then
echo "$x is NOT valid"
rm -fv $x
else
echo "$x is valid"
fi
done
