I'm using 2.0.1, currently, I should have mentioned that. Thanks for getting back so quickly. :) What I've been seeing is this (and please note, there's not timestamp on the lockfiles that are created, only a datestamp): ~mailman/locks/gate_news.lock ~mailman/gate_news.lock.my.hostname.org.pid And then also the newsgroup lock files. Recently I've been having problems with my ISP's newsserver and all I'm seeing are the gate_news.lock files. They don't seem to go away (but I have no way of PROVING that because there's no time stamps. Sample: -rw-rw-r-- 2 mailman mailman 58 Mar 14 2001 gate_news.lock -rw-rw-r-- 2 mailman mailman 58 Mar 14 2001 gate_news.lock.my.host.org.pid However, I DID have one that was a day old, which is where I'm presuming this problem is coming from. After I removed the lock, the next time gate_news runs it imports the newsgroups (assuming the news server is up). That's about the only place where I see the problem, and like I said, removing the lockfiles makes it work the next time around. If I'm on the wrong track for debugging this let me know so I can take a look in the right place. :) _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
