Summary: spamassassin restart fails - functions bug? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=161785 menscher+rh@xxxxxxxx changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |menscher+rh@xxxxxxxx ------- Additional Comments From menscher+rh@xxxxxxxx 2006-03-17 13:42 EST ------- I'm not so sure this is "fixed" in RHEL4U3. We recently ran up2date on our RHEL4 system, to bring it up to U3. As part of the upgrade, we got a new version of spamassassin: spamassassin-3.0.5-3.el4 Thu 16 Mar 2006 05:34:40 PM CST The install of other packages lasted until 05:49:10 PM, and then up2date restarted all the daemons. But our boot.log indicates spamd didn't restart properly: Mar 16 17:51:43 zeus spamassassin: spamd shutdown succeeded Mar 16 17:51:44 zeus spamd: Could not create INET socket on 127.0.0.1:783: Address already in use (IO::Socket::INET: Address already in use) Mar 16 17:51:44 zeus spamassassin: spamd startup failed The result was that everything worked fine for an hour, until the last child exited due to the default --max-conn-per-child=200. And then we got the mess of Mar 16 18:46:30 zeus spamc[20565]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused At the time, ps output indicated no spamd processes running, and a '/etc/init.d/spamassassin restart' worked fine to fix it. I'm assuming that the restart would have used the newly-installed init script, so that suggests that this fix was incomplete. Or does the fix only work if spamd was started using it (due to treatment of a pid file)? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
