Hope someone can help with the following pop3 problems: When I started pop3 downloads using PostMasterPOP3.pl, I get the following error: Notice: PostMasterPOP3.pl is already running (use '-f 1' if you want to start it forced)! I tried the suggestions found on the maillist (-f option, delete from process_id), but nothing helped. When I use -f 1 it actually downloads the same message again thus creating a new ticket for the same email. But for that email I get another error too: Wide character in subroutine entry at (eval 81) line 1. Notice: PostMasterPOP3.pl is already running but is starting again! Anyone any hints on how to proceed? (OTRS 2.2.2, ITSM 1.0.2, FreeBSD 6.2, Mysql 5.0) Thanks! /florus

That seems another PostMaster is running. Database table "process_id" stores among others ids of PostMaster processes. Look for this process in your process list with "ps -ef". If no one is running delete process id from database table. But why do you run PostMaster.pl manually? A cron job does it for you. HTH, regards Rico -- Dipl.-Math.

stop cron, search for PostMaster process. If there is one wait until process was terminated. If not delete entry in table process_id and run PostMasterPOP3.pl by hand. If there the same failure occurs it seems like a cron problem. Do you have double cron jobs? Do you have two instances with wrong config options on the same system? CU and HTH Rico -- Dipl.-Math.
