We've got SA 2.60 running on a Solaris 8 box with SunONE Messaging Server. It is doing spam scanning for all our users (~7000). In order to keep the system as speedy as possible, I've configured the bayes journal to sit on /tmp which is a memory file system.
I'd like to back up the journal periodicly to disk. Right now I have a shell script which shuts spamd down, copies the spamassassin directory to disk, then restarts spamd. However, during this period of downtime (about 10-20 seconds), the MTA cannont process email. I didn't write it, I can't change it. :( searching through the archives and docs, I've not found anything regarding this issue. How have others solved this problem of backing up a live bayes journal database? Would a perl script using file locking be a viable workaround, at least allowing the MTA to continue processing email? Thanks for any assistance. cary ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials. Become an expert in LINUX or just sharpen your skills.
