Hi! I recently wondered why some of my preforked processes on my murder backends never get used. I detected them because some quite old lmtpd's were holding locks on an already deleted deliver.db. After some debugging I recognized that cyrus-master seems to fork the configured amount of "prefork" daemons twice. One half listening on IPv4 and the other half on IPv6. Since IPv6 is practically never used from our frontends they stay forever doing nothing on the backends. Is there some reasonable way to prevent this other than setting prefork=0? I'm only using SERVICE entries like: Bimap cmd="imapd" listen="imap" prefork=5 Only the port is used for listen= without interface/IP.
Use the proto argument: proto=tcp The protocol used for this service (tcp, tcp4, tcp6, udp, udp4, udp6). This string argument is optional. tcp4, udp4: These arguments are used to bind the service to IPv4 only. tcp6, udp6: These arguments are used to bind the service to IPv6 only, if the operating system supports this. tcp, udp: These arguments are used to bind to both IPv4 and IPv6 if possible. Here is my cyrus.conf entry: imap cmd="/usr/local/cyrus/bin/imapd" listen="imap" proto="tcp4" prefork=10 maxchild=4000 Andy ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/ To Unsubscribe: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/info-cyrus
