Multiple copies of cyr_expire running
I notice that there are two of these running today: $ ps -fp $(pgrep cyr_expire) UID PID PPID CSTIME TTY TIME CMD cyrus 2510 986 3 04:00:01 ? 219:28 cyr_expire -E 3 cyrus 18280 986 3 Apr 27 ?1580:15 cyr_expire -E 3 There are also lots of errors like this. They refer to the same message over and over again: Apr 28 08:07:56 castor cyr_expire[18280]: [ID 264569 local6.error] DBERROR: mydelete: error deleting 200904201356.n3kdujes008...@taygeta.cc.umanitoba.ca: DB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair found Should I kill one of the cyr_expire processes? Is there a safe way to do this? Is the duplicate delivery database broken? Is there a way to fix it? -- -Gary Mills--Unix Support--U of M Academic Computing and Networking- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

There is no reason to fix it; I'd just delete it. You maybe will be a couple duplicates but no big deal. -- OpenGroupware developer: awill...@whitemice.org http://whitemiceconsulting.blogspot.com/ OpenGroupare Cyrus IMAPd documenation @ http://docs.opengroupware.org/Members/whitemice/wmogag/file_view Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

All it stores is the vacation already sent data. Okay, that's likely what I'll do. I'll try your cyr_dbtool first to see if it can delete that index entry. I would restart the master while deleting it though. Bron ( yes, that does kick off all your users... ) Yep. Most e-mail clients seem to reconnect quickly, so it shouldn't be too bad. -- -Gary Mills--Unix Support--U of M Academic Computing and Networking- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
