Hi Protoss,

I just made an unfortunate discovery: there appears to be no lock file for maillist.php. I've been running commands like this for the last few hours:

Quote:

cat /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/debate.mbox/debate.mbox | formail -s php -f /home/httpd/vhosts/kabissa.org/httpdocs/team/forum-data/scripts/maillist.ph p debate(at)lists(dot)kabissa(dot)org

These are pretty big mbox files, so this tends to run for about 30-45 minutes for each forum.

Sadly, I think I've corrupted the forum files in the process because when people post to a list at the same time and maillist.php is called to archive that message, they both write to the forum files at the same time. At least this is what it looks like because I've now got topics containing messages from other topics.

Is there a way to prevent this using lock files or something similar? I don't think I'll be able to rescue my database for now, since I've now imported more than 3000 messages and can't really be sure how many have worked correctly! So I'll be starting over. Live and learn. Smile

Good thing I've got these MBOX files to work with..

How do I clear out the topics completely? I seem to only be able to do it up until today using the topic pruning option - how do I delete today's messages too?

Cheers,

Tobias
