I recently sent a message ("Majordomo torture tactics" or somesuch)
detailing what happened when I ran the following:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl5 -w
foreach $i (1..100) {
system("echo \"subscribe test-list testaddr$i\@host.dom\" | mail majordomo");
}
sleep 60;
foreach $i (4..100) {
system("echo \"unsubscribe test-list testaddr$i\@host.dom\" | mail majordomo");
}
The gist was that I always get a few warnings for the first couple of
subscribes, until the random locking spaces the retries out a bit. I don't
understand the locking code enough to figure out just why it's happening.
the exact warning is:
shlock: open("/usr/local/lists/lists/L.test-list"): No such file or directory
