Hi,
Our server was rebooted and now one of the mail list is not being archived.
I saw this error:
ERROR: Unable to create lockfile after # tries
The web site says:
"
The statement means that MHonArc timed-out trying to obtain a lock on the a=
rchive. You may be able to avoid time-out problems by modifying the LOCKTRI=
ES<http://www.mhonarc.jp/mirror/release/MHonArc/2.6.11/doc/resources/locktr=
ies.html> and LOCKDELAY<http://www.mhonarc.jp/mirror/release/MHonArc/2.6.11=
/doc/resources/lockdelay.html> resources.
Sometimes a lock file exists, but no MHonArc process is modifying the archi=
ve. This can occur if MHonArc is abnormally terminated. If you know that no=
other MHonArc process is editting the archive you are try to modify, then =
manually remove the lock file or use the FORCE<http://www.mhonarc.jp/mirror=
/release/MHonArc/2.6.11/doc/resources/force.html> resource. "
I'm not sure how to maually remove the lock file or use the FORCE resource.=
Can you provide an example?
Since only one of the lists is not being archived, do I just set the 'force=
' command for that list?
Thanks in advance
Mary
