[Mailman-Users] ACK Column...
Hello, I was curious as to what the column ack was for under the Membership Management section. I've checked the Administrator Manual, but that section is empty, along with several other sections.

[Mailman-Users] archRunner hogging CPU
It appears my archive runner is flipping out today. It is hogging the CPU and can't seem to keep up with the messages. I restarted mailman and it doesn't seem to have helped.

Hi Anne: It doesn't seem your load is that high (1.49 15 minute avg.) and you have plenty of memory left. There isn't that many running processes (153) either.

Re: [Mailman-Users] archRunner hogging CPU
This is a dedicated server that does mailman and one low traffic web site. CPU load is usually ~0.05 or there abouts. I have never seen the archive runner taking up so much CPU. It's been doing it for hours. The other queues are running fine. Posted messages go out in a timely manner. It's just taking 15+ minutes to archive the messages. It's hogging the CPU and making other things I'm trying to do slower to respond, especially web site functions (including mailman's admin sites).

I'll talk to some of my list owners and I can change the default, but I was wondering if I was chasing a false lead? (Another note, most of the lists are fewer than 100 members) You could try killing ArchRunner. If you 'kill -TERM' it, mailmanctl won't restart it. Then if things don't clear out, check for stale locks from the ArchRunner process. See http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq04.076.htp. That chould get things goung normally, but the messages to be archived will start piling up in the qfiles/archive queue. Then you need to figure out what's wrong. Can you pinpoint a specific list? If so, you could just try rebuilding its archive with bin/arch --wipe listname and then restart ArchRunner with /usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=ArchRunner:0:1 -s or by stopping and starting mailmanctl (IIRC restart won't restart ArchRunner if it was SIGTERMed). Note that rebuilding the archive with bin/arch is not a step to be taken lightly as it MAY renumber messages and invalidate saved URLs, but if the issue is a corrupt archives/private/listname/database/* file, there may be no choice. You may also wish to check the archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file with bin/cleanarch before running bin/arch. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
