The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Eric Sandquist" <address@concealed>]

Well, neither of these solutions worked...

I am using the following script, a modification of the script for the IRC
bot "AcidBlood", in a cron job as root, placed in the sympa/bin folder to
check to see if the processes have died, and if so, restart:

#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# Sympa upbot perl script that
# reloads the bot when the server dies
#
# sample crontab entry
# 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /the/bots/directory/executable

# Put your directory here
chdir("/www/sympa/");


$pid=`cat sympa.pid`;
$data=`/bin/ps -axw | grep -v grep | grep $pid`;
$data2=`/bin/ps -axw | grep -v grep | grep sympa`;

if ($data && $data2) {}
else {
     open(FP,"upbot.count");
     $number=<FP>;
     close (FP);
     open(FP,">upbot.count");
     $number++;
     print FP $number;
     close (FP);
     exec("/etc/init.d/sympa restart");
}



Although, honestly, I'd rather it stop dieing.... :/

How is the next major release going?

Eric

You might fix your problem with :
        * either change 'log_socket_type' sympa.conf parameter
        * or apply attached patch against Log.pm. It will prevent Sympa from 
trying
to
          reconnect to syslogd if connection was lost.

Please keep us informed which solution worked for you...
