Category: mail delivery Group: Mailman 2.2 / 3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Tomas Smetana (tsmetana) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Use inotify instead of polling in Runner.py Initial Comment: Hi, the Mailman wakes up 7 times per second which is somehow resource unfriendly. This is caused by qrunners that poll for new files in queue directory. The proposed patch replaces polling in Runner.py with inotify which enables CPU to idle when possible. The patch requires python-inotify (http://pyinotify.sourceforge.net) to be installed. --ts ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=1776178&group_id=103
