Hi, I get this message every now and then in the System log.

“Can't create PID PostMasterPOP3, because it's already running (*****.***.**/25099)”

The 25009 is there for an example. I always get different numbers there.

I don’t know what causes it, but with some experiments I found out that when this thing happens, the OTRS system cannot send any e-mail notifications. Is there any way to prevent fix this?

This happens sometimes when the PostMasterPOP3 is still running by the next scheduled time. You need to make sure, depending on how many mails you are receiving, how many mailboxes you are checking, and the size of your emails, that you do not run the script to often. You can force a restart of the script by runing it for DOS or a terminal with the -f1 option. -- Shawn Beasley ((otrs)) :: OTRS AG :: Norsk-Data-Straße 1 :: 61352 Bad Homburg Fon: +49 (0) 9421 56818 0 :: Fax: +49 (0) 9421 56818 18 http://www.otrs.com/ :: Communication with success!
