Subject: (5.20) INND: PID file exists -- unclean shutdown!
This just means your machine crashed or you didn't shutdown innd properly and THEREFORE rc.news is doing a bit of cleanup work before it starts innd. There is not much for you to do. You might run makehistory or fixhist.pl to find articles that are on disk, but not in history. ------------------------------ [Source: INN FAQ Part 5 Archive-name: usenet/software/inn-faq/part5] [Last Changed: $Date: 1997/09/16 01:25:56 $ $Revision: 2.25 $] [Copyright: 1997 Heiko Rupp, portions by Tom Limoncelli, Rich Salz, et al.]
