Hi everybody I'm running cyrus-imapd-2.0.16 on redhat linux 7.1, but there is a strange behaviour in cyrus that I figured out that it might be a bug, at least on linux. imagine the following situation: we have a used(as stated in service.c) service and its idle for 60 seconds, when select() returns indicating there is no new request pending for the service, it will send a MASTER_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE(=2) to the master process which is belived to call process_msg to decrement the number of ready_workers so the server can keep track of the "ready for work" services. but as I found out when tracking the process flow, because it(the service) calls service_abort() after that the SIGCHLD is being received prior to process of the message sent via stat file descriptor, as result of this sequence of operations the service aborts without having ready_workers variable decremented, I had to add the following line to the reap_child function to have this problem solved: /*in block:decrement active count for service */ c->s->ready_workers--;
please let me know if I'm right and if there is another survey to this problem. Best Regards Mehrdad Fatemi R&D Manager AFR@NET Co. Ltd. Web: http://www.afranet.com email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: +98 21 8741956-9
