2.1b2 error after reboot
Hello, half an hour ago I suffered an unscheduled power outage, when my Linux (RH 7.3) rebooted, I had to correct an unlinked i-node in /tmp file system (apparently a .pid file).
The qrunner deamon did not start and reported this error: Jul 24 16:34:34 2002 mailmanctl(1040): Traceback (most recent call last): Jul 24 16:34:34 2002 mailmanctl(1040): File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 501, in ? Jul 24 16:34:34 2002 mailmanctl(1040): main() Jul 24 16:34:34 2002 mailmanctl(1040): File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 351, in main Jul 24 16:34:34 2002 mailmanctl(1040): lock = acquire_lock(force) Jul 24 16:34:34 2002 mailmanctl(1040): File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 202, in acquire_lock Jul 24 16:34:34 2002 mailmanctl(1040): lock = acquire_lock_1(force) Jul 24 16:34:34 2002 mailmanctl(1040): File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 196, in acquire_lock_1 Jul 24 16:34:34 2002 mailmanctl(1040): os.unlink(tempfile) Jul 24 16:34:34 2002 mailmanctl(1040): OSError : [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'master-qrunner.mail.hypertrek.info.25776'
Then I did a
# service mailman stopand mailman logged this
Jul 24 16:35:27 2002 mailmanctl(1112): No child with pid: 25776 Jul 24 16:35:27 2002 mailmanctl(1112): [Errno 3] No such process Jul 24 16:35:27 2002 mailmanctl(1112): Stale pid file removed.
after that I did a
# service mailman startand everything was Ok.
This could be a serious issue in case of unattended machines, is there a solution for this error?

Yes, this is the chiconfig status for mailman:
mailman 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
note that my system starts on runlevel 3

The boot was not after a graceful shutdown, but after a power loss. Check my last message with the steps to replicate the error without rebooting.
Ciao, luigi

Should be fixed in cvs now. -Barry

Thank you, guys.
In a few hours I will be leaving to London, I'll be back on Sunday and I will test the patch (hope my server does not crash in the meantime). Thanks!
