Unable to reproduce on 2.1.1. Perhaps you could give us some details about precisely how rdimport(1) is being "interrupted". In my tests here, sending SIGKILL to a running RDImport instance has no adverse effects beyond (obviously) killing that instance. > It is a big problem if a machine needs to be rebooted while rdimport is > running! If you're rebooting the machine, you've got a lot of possible mayhem beyond RD that could be in play here. MySQL shutting down, the /var/snd mount going away, to name just a couple. Before doing so, you want to be sure that any running RDImport instances are shut down cleanly. The Rivendell init script will do this when called with the 'stop' option.
