First of all, your /etc/init.d/mailman script come from plesk or some other packager. Our suggested script doesn't attempt to remove lock files. Second, I'm guessing, but if the rm /var/lib/mailman/locks/* comes after "mailmanctl stop" it is normal that there are no locks, although your ls seems to show a master lock which may be stale. Is there a pid 6444 running? Still guessing, but perhaps your script does something like mailmanctl stop rm /var/lib/mailman/locks/* ... rm /var/lib/mailman/locks/* mailmanctl start in order to remove all locks after stoping and before starting. Then tha absence of locks would be normal, and the locks you see from 'ls' are the ones just created when Mailman started. Finally, if "rm /var/lib/mailman/locks/*" says "cannot remove `/var/lib/mailman/locks/*': No such file or directory" when there are files, this is not a Mailman question. >I tried stopping mailman, moving the messages to shunt/, starting Mailman again >and then running bin/unshunt, but that does not work, either. Neither does this >produce any new log output. You indicated files named *.pck.tmp in /in/ These won't be processed by unshunt. If you want to reprocess them, just leave them in the /in/ queue and remove the .tmp from the name. Then IncomingRunner will process them. However, since the write to flush and sync the file failed, the file may be incomplete. You should dump the file with "bin/dumpdb -p" to make sure it contains both a message and a metadata object before renaming it. Do not unshunt files that weren't shunted to begin with. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
