reload config and die

reload config and die

2005-06-15 by Steve Ladendorf

I just upgraded to milter-greylist-1.6 and notice that if I change the
config file while milter-greylist is running that it dies - even if I only
change the modification time!?!

Jun 15 13:31:02 intranet milter-greylist: reloading
"/etc/mail/greylist.conf"
Jun 15 13:31:02 intranet milter-greylist: reloaded config file in 0.000830s
Jun 15 13:31:02 intranet milter-greylist: pthread_detach failed: No such
process
Jun 15 13:31:02 intranet milter-greylist: Final database dump
Jun 15 13:31:02 intranet milter-greylist: Exiting

Does anyone know what I did wrong and how to fix it?  A Google search
didn't turn up anything interesting.

Thanks!

milter-greylist reloads its config each time a new message gets in and
the configuration file was changed.

Except if you have a syntax error, it should not exit. Could you please
try 2.0rc5 and tell us if you still experience a problem?

Sorry..  2.0rc5 does the same thing.  I guess I'm not going to worry about
it.  It runs fine when it starts up from rc.d.  It only goes to an error
state if the conf file changes while it is running.  Probably more a
problem with the RedHat OS it's running ;-).  I'll probably upgrade it to
Slackware this summer.  Just thought if there was an easy fix..
