The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Marco Gaiarin <address@concealed>]

Sometimes (debian wheezy, sympa 6.1.11~dfsg-5+deb7u1) i receive an email like:

 From: SYMPA
 To: listmaster
 Subject: Previous process crashed
 X-Mailer: Sympa 6.1.11
 
 Previous process has died unexpectedly.
 Date of crash: 12 ott 2014  19:01
 Errors:
 
 Check log file for further details.

Looking at the log i see:

 Oct 13 06:33:18 rita bulk[8655]: info Configuration file read, default log 
level 0
 Oct 13 06:33:18 rita bulk[8655]: info Starting bulk master daemon, pid 8659
 Oct 13 06:33:18 rita bulk[8659]: notice tools::write_pid() Previous process 
10119 died suddenly ; notifying listmaster

but:

 rita:~# grep 10119 /var/log/syslog.1 
 Oct 12 19:01:38 rita bulk[13391]: info Starting bulk child daemon, pid 10119
 Oct 12 19:01:38 rita bulk[10119]: info Bulk slave daemon started with pid 
10119
 Oct 12 19:11:39 rita bulk[10119]: info Process 10119 didn't send any message 
since 600 seconds, exiting.
 Oct 12 19:11:39 rita bulk[10119]: notice bulk.pl exited normally due to 
signal

and rougly 12 hour before seems to me not so ''suddenly''. ;-)


What happens?
