Polling

Howdy,

I replied to your email - so just wanted to check that you got them.

BTW: There is a polling issue between our hubs.

When I connect to you, I receive a bunch of mail - which would imply that you are not crashing to me. What's your log say?

Looks like the hub thinks it's polling you... and I don't see any authorisation

errors etc. What else can I check?

Indeed it looks like mail is coming in again :)

I think I know what the issue was... Mystic after upgrading from an older A47 to the latest (as of 2021-08-10 I think) had made my systems inherit the ".bsy"

bug that everyone else had been getting, and I had managed to avoid. I had to put in place a cron job (which might be useful for others too)...

* * * * * /usr/bin/find /mystic/semaphore -type f -name "poll.bsy" -amin +60 -exec rm {} \;

What does this do?
* * * * * just means, run every minute
the /usr/bin/find is the absolute path to the find program
the /mystic/semaphore is the directory from which I need to scan
the -type f tells find to look only for files
the -name "poll.bsy" tells find to look only for the file "poll.bsy"
the -amin +60 tells find to look only for the previous matches, if they're 60 minutes or older in age
the -exec rm {} \; tells find to run rm and delete each match as it finds them.

This is prolly a bit overkill, but it should now work until this issue is fixed

(which it may already be just I haven't upgraded to the latest yet).
