Is Spamassassin supposed to automatically delete lock files when completed?
I am just wondering why so many files are created, some timestamps are from
the previous day.
My log files show the following:
Jan 19 14:17:06 mail spamd[22166]: debug: lock: 22166 trying to get lock on
/home/filter/.spamassassin/bayes with 3 retries
Jan 19 14:17:06 mail spamd[22167]: debug: lock: 22167 trying to get lock on
/home/filter/.spamassassin/bayes with 3 retries
Jan 19 14:17:06 mail spamd[22164]: debug: lock: 22164 trying to get lock on
/home/filter/.spamassassin/bayes with 7 retries
Jan 19 14:17:06 mail spamd[22168]: debug: lock: 22168 trying to get lock on
/home/filter/.spamassassin/bayes with 6 retries
Jan 19 14:17:08 mail spamd[22164]: debug: lock: 22164 trying to get lock on
/home/filter/.spamassassin/bayes with 9 retries
Jan 19 14:17:08 mail spamd[22164]: Cannot open bayes databases
/home/filter/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: lock failed: File exists
It then has several files such as: bayes.lock.mail.domain.com.21886
Is this a sign that a process is not completing? Just curious if anyone
has an idea.
Thanks in advance

Are you using the default NFS-safe locking system? If so, consider flock:
