Hi, Gerald.

I solved that issue about duplicate entries in the otrs' crontab file. I should've deleted /otrs/var/cron folder. After, I created it again by copying default directory from otrs.tar.gz source and installing all the cronjobs again.

Although this part was solved, the problem with fetch e-mails through otrs.PostMasterMailbox.pl still happening. 

I also realized that others scripts like otrs.GenericAgent.pl are with the same behavior. When I try to run them by myself on the linux shell, the following message shows up:

Segmentation fault.

Any idea ?

Can be some Perl issue ?


Best Regards,

Willian Silva.

To be more explicit about it: 

Cron.sh stop otrs 
empties otrs crontab
Cron.sh start otrs 
concats otrs/var/cron into otrs crontab

grep PostMasterMailbox otrs/var/cron

If you see it more than once, it's too many times. comment (#) extraneous ones out.

If you see it only once, run 
Cron.sh restart otrs

yes. It means it's picking this up twice. Which has been previously noted as wrong.

Most likely issue is related to the thing I already said: 

Cron.sh concatenates all files (apparently, really, all files) in otrs/var/cron.

Hi Gerald.

Thanks for your tips.

I was checking the crontab file of the otrs user and I realized something wrong. There are PostmasterMailbox.pl jobs running twice. I don't know why, even removing one of them, the two jobs shows up again when I type the command to restart otrs cron jobs (otrs/bin/Cron.sh restart otrs). See below:

[root@myserver otrs]# crontab -l -u otrs | grep PostMaster
*/10 * * * *    $HOME/bin/otrs.PostMasterMailbox.pl >> /dev/null
*/10 * * * *    $HOME/bin/otrs.PostMasterMailbox.pl >> /dev/null

Is it a problem ?

I'm not a fan of the other suggestions to manipulate crontab directly because (in Linux):

otrs/bin/Cron.sh restart otrs

will concat all entries [that don't have .dist] on otrs/var/cron to the otrs user's cron (to run in the otrs context, obeying otrs' HOME path). 

to verify otrs' cron: 
sudo crontab -l -u otrs | more

But you have a known error message.

http://forums.otterhub.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=17287 is one of the threads that address this.

The error message is a symptom (Can't create a new process because the other process is still running). It is what it says. 

More to the point, the PostmasterMailbox.pl *is* running too often. This is likely either because it's running as root AND otrs or because a single instance is hung.

check /var/spool/cron/crontabs/* for multiple instances of PostmasterMailbox.pl (but use crontab -e -u username to edit these!)

also, check /etc/crontab and /etc/cron* for possible manual entries and remove them, especially if you've followed other people's instructions.

Check ps auxwww | grep PostmasterMailbox for running processes.

Attempt to manually run the otrs/bin/otrs.PostmasterMailbox.pl under the otrs context

Yes, Gerald Young. Manual fetch is working properly from the GUI.

Does manual fetch work?
Are there errors in System Log?
Windows or Linux?

Hi folks,

I've been facing off with an issue and I'll appreciate any help to solve it.

In my OTRS 3.3.3 system, the PostMasterMailbox.pl script is running every 10 minutes by the otrs user cron jobs. But the tickets aren
