[Mailman-Users] qrunner lock

[Jon Carnes]

This one should be in the FAQ if it is not already.

This is normal in Mailman version 2.0.x which you are *probably* running
(you didn't tell us your version or really anything about your system -
shame on you!)

This version of Mailman uses a cron job to launch qrunner every minute -
but if qrunner is still running from the previous minute, then it will
not be able to acquire a lock and it will not launch a second incident
of qrunner.

Why is qrunner still running?  Well its delivering mail to folks on your
mailing lists. As your lists grow larger qrunner takes longer to run.
