Well, sorta managed to solve the problem that I was having with the stale lockfiles. General consensus on responses seemed to be "erase the stale lockfiles", rather than helping provide any information on how to prevent them in the first place. SO, I ended up setting up a script to watch for stale locks and remove them as soon as it finds any. HOWEVER, I'm now running into another situation that I'm looking for suggestions on. With Mailman-2.0.1 and a 65k subscriber list, _all_ of the administrative pages are horribly slow to load. Even the initial "subscribe" pages that people post to when adding themselves to the list are slow. I ended up having to crank up the webserver timeouts to 20 minutes to try to avoid the dangling lockfile problem, and quite frequently I can sit there waiting over a minute for one of the administrative pages to generate. Isn't a high traffic list, though; only gets at most one posting a day. Any suggestions on how to fine-tune the lockfile timeouts or other internal Mailman settings to try to increase the performance of the admin scripts? -- Graham TerMarsch ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
