[BlueOnyx:01653] Re: 5106Radjust.pl seems to hang

Hi Maurice,

> What does 5106Radjust.pl do? Apparently is being called by cmuImport.

Each server type that CMU supports has its differences and a CMU dump from a 
RaQ4 looks different than one from an XTR, RaQ550, BlueQuartz or BlueOnyx. In 
particular there are different "key" and "value" pairs in the XML files of 
their dumps. Some config switches are named differently on different 
platforms, others don't exist at all.

The "adjust" scripts of CMU make the necessary adjustments so that a CMU dump 
from a different platform can be imported.

The script 5106Radjust.pl in for example makes sure that differences between 
BlueQuartz CMU dumps and BlueOnyx CMU dumps are "evened out".

5106Radjust.pl checks if a user or site is suspended, fixes the "reply-to" 
behaviour of mailing lists and makes sure that SSL certificates for sites are 
correctly imported. It doesn't perform those actions (that's the job of the 
"scanin" scripts), but fixes the imported variables from the XML files.

No, as that script is part of CMU and CMU warnings, errors and info messages 
only appear on the console or are logged into /home/cmu/cmu.log

5106Radjust.pl itself generates only two critical error messages: If it's run 
by someone other than "root" it'll stop and if it's run all by itself and not 
called from within CMU it'll also die with a critical error message. Other 
than that it just does it's job silently.

I don't really see a reason why this script could hang. We released an update 
of CMU last night (minor fix dealing with RaQ4 imports). Possibly your CMU was 
upgraded while it was running and that could potentially have caused this 
problem. Let me know if it happens again.
