-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there, our search module uses a shutdown function in its cron hook. While re-indexing scratch.d.o to test Doug's patch, I encountered the following situation: 1) There are runnign several update routines from search_update_totals in parallel. 2) The final select query in that function run for hours. I believe that 1) is caused by the fact that the shutdown function isn't governed by our cron semaphore. That is, it runs until it is done and it won't stop other cron jobs from running. So if there are enough dirty workds to update, it is possible that there are several of them running in parallel. I've seen as many as 5. Does anybody consider this a problem? I have no idea what causes 2 but would be grateful for suggestions on how to fix the problem. Cheers, Gerhard -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGtwc4fg6TFvELooQRAnfvAKCsAuBwTKd1cXBwO4QZ0LzEnLrbkgCgzEMm 7ZYafVkZRStDqb3tILCycqk= =dyMQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
