  • Can't terminate server(s) under heavy load

    From Rob Swindell@1:103/705 to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Sunday, March 07, 2021 20:33:31
    open https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues/236

    The web server (and likely others) cannot be terminated via semaphore file when they are in-use. Since new connections are accepted, the semaphore file is never checked and thus the server is never terminated.Solution: check for sem files even when in-use and disallow new connections when flagged for terminate (or recycle).

    Hi Rob

    many thanks for your support through email. I have to confesss that's quite a change in the code/ways of installing the software.

    I managed to "upgrade" at least basically my BBS, still I need to revisit lot of stuff, not sure all is perfectly fine yet.
    I have re-read your instructions at https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:git and I am not entirely sure what I did wrong.
    I compiled all the binaries, and all it's now showing in the "/sbbs/exec/", correct, but I started missing a number of files, so when loging in the BBS I was getting errors as the following: "!ERROR executing prextrn"
    What I ended up doing is :
    cp -pr /sbbs/repo/exec/load /sbbs/exec/
    cp -pr /sbbs/repo/exec/*.js /sbbs/exec/

    And it fixed all the errors I had at login.

    Anyhow... It's late in here, but tmorrow I will re-read your instructions again as I might be missing something in the process.

    As always, thanks for all your help Rob.

    Yup, that's also covered on the wiki: https://wiki.synchro.net/install:dev#run-time_files

    As always, thanks for all your help Rob.

    No problem!

    @rswindell Similarly, should there be an option to hangup/drop current terminal sessions when the reset flag is set?I think nntp and bbs/terminal sessions are really the only relatively long-lived sessions.

    I see this issue because I'm always connected to my Thunderbird via NNTP Sometimes if you shutdown the bbs, it falls waiting for the rest of the connections to close.
    when the thunderbird shutdown, the bbs shutdown correctly
