Experienced problems w/ seg faults on our OTRS server several months back. They were always associated with a crontab process. I found that the issue was a faulty memory module.
I would suggest that you bounce the box before continuing the troubleshooting. I would want to clean the slate first. gl From: otrs-boun...@otrs.org [mailto:otrs-boun...@otrs.org] On Behalf Of Willian Silva Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2014 2:08 PM To: User questions and discussions about OTRS. Subject: Re: [otrs] PostMasterMailbox.pl doesn't working 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 ?

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.

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 ? Regards, Willian Silva. 2014-02-17 17:06 GMT-03:00 Gerald Young <cryth...@gmail.com>: 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 <https://www.google.com/search?q=site:forums.otterhub.org+Can%27t+create+PID +PostMasterMailbox%2C+because+it%27s+already+running> . http://forums.otterhub.org/viewtopic.php?f=62 <http://forums.otterhub.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=17287> &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.
