  • poll.bsy

    From Al DeRosa@1:267/157 to All on Wed Sep 28 18:46:52 2022
    Not sure if this message got out last night as I was having a lot of issues with messages not going out.. But here goes..

    I could have sworn I read somewhere that with A48 some were having issues
    with poll.bsy not being deleted. Is anyone having this issue?? I am noticing that sometimes it is not being deleted in the Linux version. I noticed it yesterday, my network traffic wasn't leaving my board, when I deleted the poll.bsy it was fine, then tonight I noticed it again was sitting in the semaphore directory and nothing was transferred to my CNet Amiga or Synchro board most of the day..

    And now tonight I get home and there is a poll.bsy sitting in the directory and no transfers to any of my other boards.. I can set up a cron even to delete the poll.bsy every hour but what happens if the BBS is in the middle of a poll when it gets deleted..

    Anyone else having this issue??

    Just a quick followup, checked the semaphore directory tonight and there is a poll.bsy in it from yesterday. I tried to force a mis poll forced and get the response poll is busy I deleted the poll.bsy and it allowed the forced poll. Received some packets from the networks and it deleted after it was done sending the files out to my other connections. I have tried to add in the option to delete poll.bsy in the configuration in events forced poll option it saves then a few hours later it is no longer in the option to delete. This I believe is a bug in Linux version only, my windows version never had this issue.. Hopefully, this helps g00r00 out a little bit..
