Man, all I can say is "been there, done that..." it sounds like, from time to time, for some "misteryous" reason, ASSP gets stuck, it doesn't crash or whatever, it keeps running but doesn't answer to ANY SMTP connection request, no way, it isn't an IP issue or whatever and it isn't an "overload" issue either, it justs becomes deaf and dumb and stays there and the only way to bring it back up is stopping and restarting it (or, in some extreme cases, you may also need to delete some files); all I can say is that it sounds like it has some kind of "zombie" process which holds LOCKS on some files and to remove them (and let ASSP start back up) you may need to use "kill" (pskill on win32) since otherwise, some files (e.g. some of the "pb" folder ones) will stay locked for "anyone"; I think that there's some "race condition" deadlock sitting somewhere, pity I was unable to find it, I just hope Thomas will be able to fathom and possibly solve it since imHo this is the SAME spot causing other issues; my suggestion was (and is) to move "housekeeping" functions to a separate thread and using some kind of "global semaphore" to let them run and avoid access contentions; I know it's easier to say than to implement (given the current implementation) but I also think that it's a need, since ASSP needs to achieve some kind of solid foundation to further grow ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d _______________________________________________ Assp-test mailing list Assp-test@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/assp-test
