This has been going on for several nights now and is a major problem in assp
1.2.7.x. It has occurred in 1.2.7.1, 1.2.7.6 and 1.2.7.7. Every night,
when assp rotates the log file, assp.pl goes into a loop and consumes more
than 50% CPU:
Tasks: 127 total, 2 running, 123 sleeping, 1 stopped, 1 zombie
Cpu(s): 41.5% us, 8.5% sy, 0.0% ni, 47.5% id, 2.2% wa, 0.2% hi, 0.2%
si, 0.0% st
Mem: 1033684k total, 1018924k used, 14760k free, 4336k buffers
Swap: 2096472k total, 932776k used, 1163696k free, 27872k cached
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
29760 root 25 0 1298m 833m 1208 R 99 82.6 5:57.32 perl
The log file gets overlayed, so that there is no history of email logging
whatsoever:
# ls -l
total 36
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 178 Jan 24 00:08 07-01-24-00.maillog.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 172 Jan 25 00:04 07-01-24.maillog.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 172 Jan 26 00:04 07-01-25.maillog.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 172 Jan 26 00:25 07-01-26.maillog.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 172 Jan 28 00:04 07-01-27.maillog.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 172 Jan 28 00:11 07-01-28.maillog.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 172 Jan 30 00:04 07-01-29.maillog.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 172 Jan 30 00:06 07-01-30.maillog.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2173 Jan 30 00:09 maillog.txt
Note the size of each log file. All contain the same thing:
Jan-30-07 00:06:38 new log file -- old log file renamed to
'logs/07-01-30.maillog.txt'
Jan-30-07 00:06:38: Rolling log file -- archive saved as
'logs/07-01-30.maillog.txt'
And nothing more. All logging is completely lost!
I have to kill the looping assp.pl process as a "service assp start" will
just create a second instance of assp. As far as the config file, I have
the rotation set to every day and the log file lives in logs/maillog.txt.
(This happenes whether it lives in the base dir or the logs dir.)
This is a serious problem that needs to be addressed before 1.2.7 can go GA.
The looping crashes the server if I do not intervene.
