I did a mondoarchive of my whole server to CDs today, and afterward noticed these:
1. On the server I backed up, Mailman was not running after backup. When I tried to restart it, I got a message about no mailman.pid and no Mailman list. I restored /var/lib/Mailman from a previous backup, and Mailman started and is running fine. 2. I also used today's backup CD to "nuke" another machine I have that makes it a clone of the primary. On reboot after the restore procedure, I also got messages about Mailman not running and no pid file. (As expected, since it is a clone of the first machine.) Can you imagine anything about the pid file that would get trashed during a backup procedure? I know this is a nonspecific question and maybe should be asked on the Mondo list, but I don't know much about the mailman.pid file so thought I'd ask about IT here. Thanks any thoughts on this! - John ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
